Oh...and since you were probably wondering, you never forget the image of his head on the vets table. You will remember it as clear as day for the rest of your life. [/ QUOTE ] I would cry.

Re: What\'s this bump on my dogs neck?
It's probably just a fatty tumor. Most dogs get them as they get older, but some younger dogs have them too. If it starts to grow, especially rapidly, take the dog to the vet ASAP!

Re: What\'s this bump on my dogs neck?
As has been noted, many times bumps on dogs are common and not a serious problem, they should still be checked out. The last dog in my family had something like 8-10 bumps under her skin of varying sizes. We eventually put her to sleep due to other health problems when she couldn't really walk anymore. The bumps were never a problem.

My wife's dog got some kind of lump in his neck. When we took him to the vet it was growing so rapidly that you could almost see it getting bigger. He was strangling, and they couldn't figure out what it was. We put him to sleep. She pushed the pink juice herself, and when she did it she said, "Run Bubba Wiezel, run. Granny's waiting for you." (The wife's granny used to walk him every day, and she had just died recently.) I was all teary-eyed when I heard that. Anyway, my wife was a vet tech, and she was very calm and professional...until later when we got home.
