My Dalmation had these around her hips.. they were about the size of a dollar (um.. large quarter... lol.. our dollars are coins... sorry) the vet said they were nothing to worry about.. they never got bigger or smaller and because she had a short coat you could see them easily.

thank you so much marci! I will bring him to the vet on monday and see what he thinks. phew ... i really hope it is just a cyst. so here's another question. how do you get rid of one?

k i'm off to do a search now on cysts. hehe. Thanks again hun!! really takes some of my fear away. lol

well they dont' have to be removed.. but i supposed surgery will get rid of it. does it feel kinda like a thick gel or is it hard?? Chrissy (our Dalmation that we used to have) had these gelly like things on her.... and because they weren't doing any harm the vet said to just leave them be.

well .. the first day i felt it, it was like a thick gel but it hardened up the next day (and thats the day i took him to the vet) and its been pretty hard for the next couple of days. Today it is back to the gel feeling. I will feel it again today at lunch.
