Lump Removal

IS LUMP REMOVAL NECESSARY?

Before any kind of surgery, a thorough examination by the vet will be performed.  As there are many different kinds of lumps there may be a need for further diagnostic testing before removal is advised. Occasionally removal is not required and your pet can live comfortably lumps, bumps and all!

AS AN OWNER – WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

It is a good idea to check your pet’s skin weekly for any new lumps or to monitor existing lumps. You can do this by:

  • Taking weekly photos of lumps
  • Measuring the lump and keeping track of the size
  • Spotting changes in size, form or texture of the lump
  • Being aware if the lump in beginning to irritate the pet
  • If the lump has become inflamed or irritated

If any changes occur to the lump or lump lumps have risen, it is recommended you have them checked over by the vet.
