lump on pup's back

[lurcher330 2,301]

My pups are 11 days old today and i noticed this on the dog pups back,it seems like a cyst with fluid inside it,

I will be bring him up to to vet in a while,as i have to go up and fix him up for doing the c section ,but this has me worried even more so as i was starting to favour keeping the dog pup.

 

does anyone reckon it could be a serious problem........

my lurcher has the same sort of lump behind his front right leg. vets said it was a fatty mass after they operated on it

Sounds like a dermoid cyst. You will need to get him checked out by the vet. some remove them and some don't it depends on the vet.

I had him at the vet lastnight,he said if it is blood filled it should go down in time an if he lanced it he could bleed to death,but if it is puss it will get bigger and start to make a head and he will lance it then,but he says he will be ok Edited November 9, 2012 by lurcher330

She had 5 in her,she passed 4 herself and 1 had died inside her and she needed a c section,but the 1st pup born didn't make it so she is left with 3

It's a hymertoma(sp) basically a blood blister, Easy to sort at home with a decent sized syringe needle, pop it in and gently squeeze around the lump and the blood will drain out, they sometimes refill.

Can't believe the vet didn't atleast try to drain it as above, very strange

I was tempted to try and drain it my self ,but my vet is an real old timmer ,maybe into his late 60s or 70s now and he is a lecturer in the vetinary collage in U.C.D,so usually take his advice,but if there is no change by tomorrow i might either bring him back up or go to another vet
