Help!! I have found 2 lumps!

[Bailey/ Girl]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I found 2 lumps on my little girl Bailey. She is only 11 months, full of life and energy. These bumps don't seem to slow her down one bit. Is this normal? The first one is between her back hind leg and her stomach. I think that is called the flank. It is about the size of a large toostie roll and I can move it around inside her skin. The other one is on her front left leg and it is hard about about the size of a pea. This one I can't move with my fingers. I know that these are not hives...we already have that problem down...We live with benedryl and I think that we own stock in that company by now. Anybody have this same thing with their boxers? I am planning on taking her to the vet to check these out. I know that boxers can get tumors at any age..and I just don't want to think that it could be cancer. Any suggestions would be great?

Chances are the lumps are nothing, but your vet needs to check them out. Good luck!

Have your vet check them out! Both my female boxers had them and they turned out to to mast cell tumors (cancer). But good thing is they can be easily treated by having them removed. The girls always got bumps and we would watch them for a few days make sure it was still there then have them checked out. Some were nothing, just bumps, but some were. The vet will know.
Good Luck!
