Growth ??

We noticed this growth/lump on one of inca's back feet about 4 wks ago but it never cause's her any grief or hurts her as she lets us touch it and doesn't pull her foot away when i check it...

The thing is i have noticed every now an then it will bleed but only when she's either had a made half hour with sky or bin jumpin through twigs an sticks to chase a rabbit or summit like that...
I really don't know what to make of it or what it could be (can dogs get things like warts, boils or corns ?)..

Av put some pics up of the growth/lump for you to check out but before you comment about it looking moist, i had just put a dab of Aloe Vera on it minutes before i took the pics...




So guys what do you think it is ? ..............

Vets is my vote

Dont know what it is but it does look sore. It looks a bit like a wound that hasn't healed properly but only guessing ?. Would pop into the vets to be on the safe side.

that look like cancer est could be wrong you need to vist the vet i would say

Mmmm I would also pop to the vets.


Moo had a benin tumour a while ago, looked pretty similar tbh, and was also told pretty commen, scared the sh1t out of me to be told that though.

It's not uncommen but piece of mind and all that Xx

Ps Sue if you want to email me if your worried ask steve for my email ad

So you think it looks cancerous steve...

I was hoping no one mentioned the 'C' word as that thought has bin at the back of my mind aswell but its kinda like if we don't take her then they can't tell us its cancerous but i think in my heart of hearts she needs to go the vet to find out what it is !!!

Thanks anyway steve x

Cheers Janey i will ask steve for your email ad as i feel i need to ask you certain questions about Moo's growth..

Thanks again hun x

I woould also advise a trip to the vet.

Poor Inca looks sore. Vet's would be my advice aswell!

It looks like a Hystiocytoma which is a benign skin tumour.
Because of the area its appeared in its important its kept clean and dry, and stop your dog from licking at it. They normally just disappear on their own, but if it kept getting knocked and keeps bleeding then its a trip to the vet for either cream to help dry and clear it up or operated on and cut off.

My Phebee had one, and like you it scared the life out of me as i too had the dreaded C word floating around my head. Hers just disappeared after a month or more on its own

Just seen this. I would also say benign tumour. They do often disappear, but it's in an awkward place - just where it's likely to get knocked.

I would personally get a vet's opinion as to whether it should be taken off or left.

Ok thanks everyone for your concerned comments and like you all basically say, i will get her an app to see the vet to see what they have to say...

I will keep you all informed peeps (you really are a cracking bunch) x
