LaraCroft 863 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Could be any number of things - hair follicles, glands, fatty lumps, hernia's etc. In general, if you can get your fingers behind it ( between skin and body ) then it is in the skin, and not usually much to worry about. If it's a pup, get the vet to have a look at it when the jabs are done. If older than that, then would depend on how long it has been there, if it seems painful, being chewed at or licked, getting larger, affecting the skin ( red ) or hair (standing up ) as to whether I would do anything with it.

walshie 2,804 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 My bitch has 2 on her neck. Got the vet to check them out just in case. She took a sample of both and they are harmless. She said she could remove them if I wanted, but it would be purely for looks rather than health. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
