shoulder lump
I was giving Roxy a nice back scratch yesterday when I found a lump just at her right shoulder. Now, of course, today, when I want to get her in to see the vet during his morning office hours, it is snowing and so I am not sure if I can drive the pass over to his office. I will go as soon as the weather clears but in the meantime do you think it can be a possible reaction to a pencillin shot that she had a good 6 weeks ago now? It seems an awfully long time ago and I feel sure that I would have noticed the lump before now if that was it but...well you begin to doubt yourself. This is a lump probably an inch or more in diameter (25 mm +) so not a small thing. No pain involved. Firm, not watery.
Iceland is not agreeing with Roxy. This is the third thing that has come up in about 2 months. The other two being a fungus under her belly that made her very itchy (almost totally gone) and then her very first bout of anal sac problems (and I was away so a friend dealt with it!)

Re: shoulder lump

Re: shoulder lump
Some dogs do have lumps that last a very long time after their injections. I had a Yorkie that had this problem. I wouldn't worry, just get it checked when you can.

Re: shoulder lump
My Sparky has had a lump on her shoulder like you describe-a hard one-for years and it's never grown. XXX.

Re: shoulder lump
I did manage to get into the vet after all. The road was actually good and as a bonus the reindeer were right beside the road today, but I digress.
The vet wasn't sure what it was but he said that it isn't quite in the spot where he gives injections. He suggested that he could try giving her a shot of steriod into the lump but we decided to just wait for a month instead (I am out to Canada for Christmas and Roxy will be with friends) and then we will check back. I think that she has had enough shots for awhile.

Re: shoulder lump
I agree with Lynda, wait and see, and I hope it is nothing but a fat tumor.
Where about in Canada are you going for Christmas? I hope you have snow, as it doesn't look like we will here in Ontario. I hope you have given your friends a written authorization just in case Roxy needs the vet while you are gone.
Have a Happy Christmas, hugs, Theo and Casey xox

Re: shoulder lump
Weezie gets an occasional fatty lump, I rub it every day and it goes away. Hope that it's the same for Roxy!

Re: shoulder lump
I hope Roxy's lump disappears before you have to have it removed. Mulli has had several removed and so did our Kali Rose. They were all just wierd stuff, not cancerous...
