My doxie has a lump below rib cage, left side, non painful, anyone know what it is?

Question

i asked here because I cant get to vet until the morning and i thought someone might have an insight, wasnt looking for insults

Answer 1

Could be just a fatty tumor.

But it also could be serious. Please go to the vet to get it checked out, just in case.

Answer 2

It's probably a malignant tumor. You might get it tested to make sure it isn't cancerous but usually they aren't. Doxies get them when they are older, 7-12 years. Sometimes they get pretty big but usually come back even if you get it removed.

Answer 3

Nobody on the internet can tell you what kind of growth it is.  Take it to a vet and have them aspirate it.

Answer 4

Why are you asking here? take it to the vet, I don't believe some people.Edit it was not an insult, check some of the questions that get asked about pets and you might understand my answer.

Answer 5

I would no matter what get your pooch in, at least let the doc look at it. It may be as simple as a sist, or an ingrown hair. you may try a warm compress until you can get an apt, but still go to see a vet. Best wishes, John

Answer 6

Prob fatty tumor or something. :/

Answer 7

How old? I had a family member who got a King Charles Cavalier from a breeder who ended up having a weird bulge show up around her rib cage. She was young. Turns out it was a thing with her stomach. The food was going into this pouch outside her body.  Might not be the same thing, but it's worth a look see by a Vet anyway.

I just had a lump removed off my cat's tail that I thought was hurting her. Turns out it was a mild cancerous tumor.  You never know. That's why it better to get them checked out and catch it early. Many times, it is nothing.
