Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Growth on Luka's foot :( Fri Oct 07, 2011 5:02 pm | |
| Many of us seem to be finding lumps or bumps on their dogs lately! Found a bump on Luka's foot about a week ago. Its right next to one of the pads on her foot. It looks like a pimple! It has grown just a tiny bit since last week. I'm really hoping its just a sebaceous cyst, but I don't like the fact that it is growing. Going to go to the vet next week to have it looked at. I really hope its something I can wait a while to get removed. If I get it removed now, she won't be able to dog scooter or bikejor for a while. Then again, if I get it removed in the winter, she won't be able to dog sled. Either way its bad timing! Its going to bother me all weekend, really wish I could have gotten an appointment sooner, but I'm in class today and will be doing animal training at the Shedd Aquarium all day tomorrow. I don't know how I'll focus tomorrow! I'll probably end up falling in the whale tank or doing something else stupid! It doesn't seem to bother her. If she does need it removed, that also means I will have to drive home to WI to get it removed. Have not found a vet here that I would trust doing surgery on my dogs. Besides, they would probably make me vaccinate her, which I wouldn't. Don't want to make her immune system work any harder especially if its something bad. Will update everyone after the appointment next week. Wish us luck! |

| I know how you feel Melissa. We recently found a lump on Mya also, but the vet said it was a sebaceous cyst. Good luck! Luka will be just fine. You'll see |

| My friend Taylor from another found something that sounds similar on her boy the other day she came back from the vet today, and this was her result..he has a histiocytoma, a benign skin tumor which might regress in about 3 months. We have some steriod cream with an antibiotic to try and shrink it, but if it hasn't disappeared in 3 months he needs it surgically removed. |

| Thanks guys. I just don't like how it grew so quickly, but I know sebaceous cysts can grow fast. It doesn't look red or irritated at all. Just looks like a good sized white head pimple. |

| Got back from the vet, and apparently the lump on her foot is nothing to worry about. It's most likely a trichoma or adenoma. Vet didn't recommend removing it unless it starts to bother her. Because of its location on the bottom of her foot, it would be prone to infection if we removed it. Just have to watch and make sure its not bothering her. I'll probably get a second opinion from our old vet when we go home for Christmas just to be sure. So releaved! |

| Hmm, I don't know how I missed this thread altogether. I'm glad your vet thinks it's nothing to worry about. I'm doing the same with my girl, Faith. The vet I took her to here said the lump near her teat is nothing to worry about unless it gets bigger, but I want a second opinion...hopefully at our old vet when we go to FL in December. _________________ |
