What the hell is this? Yuk pic attached for the squeamish

DDog has been out of sorts for a few days. He's been licking his leg but has arthritis and I thought it was that. I've just checked him over and found a large growth at the top of his leg, the size of an old 10p. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? Poor DDog

Thanks for asking Must
It's a benign tumour. He's having it removed Friday. I am very relieved!

Thank goodness. Hope Friday goes smoothly.

Delighted for you! As someone whose dog had a tumor removed from almost exactly the same area, I'd ask the vet to stitch, glue AND staple it as it's the most active area on their bodies. Learn from my lessons haha.

Good luck for Friday

hope it all goes well glad it is benign

Thank you all
I've built him a den under the table, which is his new favourite place so he's happy.
I'll report back on Friday after the op. Vet says it's a fast growing tumour so recommended removal, noted Must about the wound! Booked Friday so I'll be around for the weekend to make a fuss keep an eye on him.

Excellent plan with the den making, they love little nooks to recover in.

At least you have found it, and acted on it OP.
I hope your lovely boy is soon mended. 💐

Little man is currently on his bed with the cone of shame looking very sorry for himself and whimpering. Surgery went well, he was fine and he's eaten tonight which is good. Lots of fuss this weekend.

Yy lots of fuss indeed. Get well soon little man.

Poor boy, he's still whining, I know it's a reaction to the anaesthetic and pain meds. He settles when I cuddle him, he's got a blanket and a pillow but he's so disorientated. I hope he sleeps soon, he'll be better tomorrow.

Cuddle now. Better soon.

Glad the op is out the way. If he has an iffy tummy over the next few days, give mash up some boiled butternut squash and give him a heaped teaspoon in with his meals.

How's he getting on after the weekend?

Thanks for asking MTB.
He was very distressed after the anaesthetic so spent the evening cuddling him on his bed. Fine the next morning.
He's healing well. They tested the lump and glad to say that it is definitely benign. They are not sure they have managed to get all the cells out so I need to keep an eye on him because it could come back but is not spreading internally and that's all I could ask for.
