Lipomas?
« on: September 14, 2017, 08:51:14 PM »
Hey everyone. My 3 year old WCS has a largeish movable lump under the skin on his shoulder. I only noticed it this morning. I'm going to take him into the vet to have it investigated, but have to wait a couple of days until his thundercap arrives (he has to wear one at the vet as he is very fearful/reactive).

The lump itself feels a lot like a lipoma, my 13 year old Aussie gets those, but I'm confused as I didn't know if younger dogs got them as well? Is it that common?

My Aussie usually has hers biopsied whenever she gets a new one, so I'll no doubt have that done, I was just curious if anyone else had experience with this.
