lumpy growth around nipple

Sent to Pet Experts July 14 11:03 PM

my dog has a small lumpy growwth next to her nipple. It does not seem sore and is not hard but very oddly shaped and lumpy. What could it be? It looks like a bunch of small lumps lumped together

 Unspayed dogs or dogs spayed later in life are more suseptable to mammary tumors and this might be what you are feeling. You need to watch for a change in size,shape, texture and color. Any changes in those then you should have it removed. It could also be an abscess or just a fatty growth but like I said, watch for those signs or if it starts to bother your dog then you should see your vet.

Good luck!
