[QUOTE="tikkalover, post: 44541, member: 600"] Took Gunnar to the vet this afternoon for a lump that has started to develop on his belly about an inch back from his rib cage, its about the size of a dime in diameter, and a little under a 1/8 inch thick. We are waiting in the room, when the vet walks in with a syringe to take a sample for a biopsy, I look at her and said that might not work as it is not that big. She says, that's unusual as most people wait for them to get really big before they bring the dog in to have them checked, she was really surprised we brought him in so soon. The reason I'm bringing this up is because my brother in law had a lab that developed lumps, and he waited until they got big, and they ended up being cancerous, and the outcome was not good. So that being said, please don't wait to take your dog (family member, best buddy) to the vet if they start to develop lumps or growths, as the sooner they know what they are the sooner they can be treated. Gunnar's lump turned out to be just fatty tissue,:;:rockit and we were told to just keep an eye on it, and if it gets worse to bring him back to have it looked at again. [/QUOTE]
