Fatty lump

[MixedBerryJam]

I dont think so. Mine's only ~8 but the vet has already said he wouldn't deal with them surgically unless the grew so large or in such a position as to affect quality of life ... Eg, affected the dog's ability to eat or walk or such. Right now she only has one, but it's pretty big @ 2+inches, but on a flank where she doesnt even notice it. I had a cat with a ton of them and he lived a long full life oblivious to them. My answer would be different if it fatty tumor (lipoma, I think it's called) were causing discomfort.

I had a dog years ago that had mast cell cancer. It was removed and never came back.
Glad you got it checked out!

I'm so glad you were able to have it removed. We had to let one of our senior dachsies go in April when a tumor in his chest (in an area that wasn't easily operable, unfortunately) got so large that it started to cause him obvious pain. I didn't want to say anything, since it's obviously a downer and I didn't want you to go into this even more worried.
