Lump! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was petting Illy today and noticed a lump by her ribs. It feels like a small ball and it moves around. It's not attached to her ribs. It's like in her skin or something. It's the size of a marble or so. She is only 11 weeks so I don't know what to think. What do you think? Should I call the vet?

I just joined yesterday and posted in the wrong section. Our pup Dairy has a lump the size of a pea next to her last teat. It resembles a pimple, but I havn't attempted doing anything just yet to it. Good luck with Lily. Hopefully it's a lymph node. I'm sorry I am unable to help further.

the first one sounds like a fatty lump which a lot of dogs get but i would take them to the vet to make sure

and the little lump by the nipple could just be another nipple some dogs have another one joined but best to get it looked at
