My puppy has a lump on her foot

My almost 7 month old puppy has a lump on her foot....we just noticed it a few days ago...she is acting fine...when I press on it...she doesn't care...Do u think is a cyst or tumor or something..I hope not...

What do u think?



Hi
The chances of this being a cancerous tumor are slim, especially in such a young dog, but of course there are no guarantees and anything is possible.

I'm afraid I'm not a vet, but my personal thoughts would be that it's a benign cyst of some sort, or perhaps the result of an injury/cut/foreign body that had become infected and encapsulated.

As it doesn't seem to hurt when you press on it, it wouldn't appear to be infected at this point, but again this is just guesswork.

I'd strongly recommend that you take your pup to your veterinarian so that he can take a look and make sure that there's no treatment needed and it's nothing to worry about. It's always better to be safe than sorry and to get a professional opinion.

Best of luck with your pup.
