Westie Poodle Mix Lump Under Dogs Skin On Her Right Side?

Lump under dogs skin on her right side? - westie poodle mix

A week ago I noticed a bulge under the skin of my dogs is about an inch, maybe 2 inches wide and not moving. It does not seem to hurt when I touch, I've never seen before. It is a Westie / Poodle mix and is approximately 8 years. Who has not survived and was released in May, a little less, because I took last Friday. Do not take to the vet because I just go up to 3 weeks to receive training, shots and microchip, and the costs significantly. Just ask, how long shall I wait until she finally finds if they do not disappear?

My rule of thumb is: if it does not move - biopsy it! Lipomas (fatty tumors) are generally mild, feeling fat, lumps, and may or may not move. But still want to see by your veterinarian.

You need an immediate check to be sure. Older dogs) are lipomas (benign fatty tumors, but could something more serious, and if so, as soon as possible to better cope with it. It is fairly easy for the veterinarian to diagnose.

Fire could be achieved is, where he was shot?

if the infection would be painful to touch.
You can try to call your vet and ask whether something to worry about. Your vet really knows what could happen to him.
