Found First Lump

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Chance went to the vet 2 weeks ago for his rabies shot and just the other day we noticed he had a lump in the base of his neck. The lump can be moved around under the skin and does not cause any discomfort. I've read in previous posts that rabies shots tend to cause lumps under the skin. How long does this last and should I be concerned since he is only 6 mts???? :confused:

  • That's exactly what it is, always startles me too every time. No reason to be concerned, altho I don't recall how long it lasts … a few weeks?

    It could also be his micro chip if he has one. Sometimes you can feel the chip with puppies, or very lean dogs. It should feel bigger than a grain of rice, but smaller than a pea…not visually noticable.

    It could also be his rabies vaccine, I have seen that before also with my dogs...although our vet now does rabies in the thigh.

  • I would guess from the rabies shot also… and when mine got them, it lasted about 8 wks... if I remember correctly..

    [image: 1568761912724-cf26c42d-3b11-4084-adeb-163ff1bb0cdb-resized.jpeg] Best to get all lumps checked out by the vet, they are more qualified than us. Having said that, it’s probably just a lump like this which my dog has had for a couple of years. I asked the vet if they can get rid of it but they said better to leave alone. Fatty lumps are common as they age.

    In the days before computers, I kept a book (now its all carefully entered in to special folders on the 'machine' and provides me with a complete history) - total sickness record, including jabs and innoculations (and cost of pills / treatment), of each dog. Weight at birth of puppies, ease of whelping. Onset of seasons, boys starting to react (chuddering and showing interest), date relative to onset of color of the first time the girl's tail went over. Just about every aspect of each dog is carefully logged and catalogued.

    @Buddys: all those male dogs at your front door! I mentioned to my brother who is a first time girl puppy owner, and he laughed when I told him to look out for the male dogs. The other day, a blind dog who never goes outside ended up sniffing at his front door from down the street!!!! talk about a sex drive! Exactly, most people do not believe you when you tell them that male dogs will do most anything to get at a bitch in season. Years ago when I had 3 bitches in season at one time, there was a very old in-tact Lab that lived 4 blocks away… He had to be at least 14. But as soon as the girls were "ripe" and ready, there he would be walking back and forth in front of the house.... never saw that dog any other time

    @ohbassit: Heya Buddys pal, The day after i posted the picture of her little lump it turned black and fell right off. Actually i am not sure when it fell off i just knew it wasn't there. The bump underneith also slowly went away. We have her penciled in for a vet visit this weekend so i will let you know what they say. Thanks for the concern! Cheers Could it have just been a blood blister or something like that?

    Poor Jack, what did the vet think he got? Some type of sting?
