Re: keep finding lumps on xena
one of my old dogs started getting lumps in later life. he had a biospy and they turned out to limpomas, which are benign fatty lumps. i think it musy have been something in the genetic line. ive heard of a few staffs having these lumps, and/or little warty-type skin growths.

Yes, you need to know if they could be causing her pain or discomfort you know how stubborn staffys can be and what a high pain threshold they have.
It could be hives and an allergic reaction to something that can be treated with meds

Re: keep finding lumps on xena
Have they just popped up? How big are they? Could they be Bites? There was a bee on my car earlier today so certainly some of the bugs about early as the winter has been warm

Molly has a lump on her side about the size of a broad bean, the vet said because she couldnt find a place it was attached it was prob just a fatty lump.x
