Thank you very useful article
I found a lump…
-
Tonight i give Sandie a bath and found a small pea size maybe a lil bigger lump under the skin … it doesnt seem to be attached but it concerns me greatly... Should i just keep a eye on it or take her to vet immedantly ?? I dont think it was there a few weeks ago... if it was it was so small i didnt feel it....
-
I also found a small pea size lump on Duke at about 4 months old. It was on his side near the top of his front leg. It felt like a cyst, and then it disappeared within a week or so. So maybe watch it for a week or two? It might go away by itself. If it gets bigger, then I would get it checked.
-
When did your baby get the rabies shot? And where is the lump?
-
More than likely a cyst. Our first Basenji got them all the time. Exactly as you described. They lasted a week or two then went away. We'd often find our other Basenji licking at them.

The lump is on her side kinna shoulder blade area over her front leg… she got her shot 8 days ago... i wish i had watched where the vet put the injection now
... i wasnt paying attention we was talking about questions i had and the heart worm medication... -
I'm only saying this because every time Kiya gets a shot rabies she gets a lump that feels cartilidgey…and it takes MONTHS to go away!
-
Personally I would take my B to the vet if I found a lump that lasted longer than a few days. I don't wait on things like this, or at least I would call my vet and ask about where the shot was given, and if they thought I should bring her in. I would worry myself and not be satisfied until I talked to the vet, this is just my opinion of course. Good Luck:D
-
Oh yes, I didn't tell you to wait and see…I asked the vet and they said it was a reaction to the vaccine. But you should go and see if it's the same thing or a cyst.
-
It might be a local reaction to the rabies shot and would go away on its own if it was. It couldn't hurt to see what the vet thinks though.
-
I was thinking all last night about this and Im calling the vet… I have received alot of good information here... and almost think its from her last shot which gives me some relief...Thanks everyone for the input !!!!
-
I called the vet today and mention we was in last week got her last shots and before i could say what was wrong the reception girl said she has a lump and your concerned… she told me to keep a eye on it... if it gets larger or changes let them know.. said it could be 8 weeks or more for it goes away... tonight i ask my neighbors daughter who works at another vets office to look at it and she confirmed it was probably the injection and next time have them not give it to her in her shoulder tell them she got a lump the first time...so im relieved its nothing worse...

Does the fact that there is a lump after rabbies shot means that the dogs body is making antibodies??????
Mine had their shot a week ago and lumps are not as bad as usual, the vet this time rubbed their neck for at least a minute after doing the injection. I'll have to see how it goes in a week! -
Although never where she's had a shot, my B gets lots of "lumps and bumps". I take her to the vet and she aspirates them and says they are sebaceous cysts. I hope that helps.

It's fat!
My doctor is an expert in exotic animals, like Basenjis, and explained to me what these lumps are because my boy, "Cauy," had some. She said they were palanomas and they're common with the breed. They're not threatening and in fact are simply lumps of fat that are loose and unconnected but are right under the skin. However, there are many kinds of lumps a Beaseni can attain, both good and bad. My doctor knew how to determine the difference. Therefore, I highly recomend you see a vet to make sure, and one that specializes in Basenis.
-
The lump did disapear it must have been from the injection… but im thankful i now have a lil knowledge on any lump i might find in the future...
-
99% of the time they are just a cyst… and many times a lump will form where they have had their shots.. You will also find with older dogs they will get cysts, some more then others. My male (15 in September) has a bunch.. I had 4 removed about 3 yrs ago... only to have him get about 5 more... we have had needle biospy and they are just fluid.. nothing to worry about, they just look ugly... then my Maggii (also 15 in August) has but on small one...

I didnt read all two pages of comments but when lucy was about 1-2 years old she got them a lot, they eventually go away by themselves, just mkae sure it isnt a tick. She has them on certain seasons they just show up randomly and they go away in about 2-3 weeks so nothing to worry about really.
-
I have notice that my dog has a lump on her left side under her neck, where her jawbone is at.I noticed this today.I am worried.
-
My B got those right and left in the same areas you have described. My vet, whom I work for, called them seromas. pockets of serum trapped under the skin. he drained some of it out with a needle and showed me. It didn't seem painful to the dog at all. He said it was a common response in some dogs, to a slight trauma [injury, vaccine injection etc.]
and they went away in about 10 days to 2 weeks. I believe he was getting most of his from squeezing through the fence post and the house. After I blocked that off he didn't have any more of them accept once from a vaccination.
Of course if you have concerns and doubts, the best way to reassure yourself and put your mind at ease is to have your vet look at it. Like we always tell clients. diagnosis can't be made accurately over the phone. nor over the internet.
Hopefully though and most likely it is nothing serious and is just a simple seroma. not sure if I'm spelling that right. I'm the groomer not the tech.
Hope this was helpful.
