Dog with lumps on body

Fungal, bacterial, or parasitic skin diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, or parasites require timely inspection and treatment at a pet hospital. If your dog occasionally gets small lumps on its body, and they disappear on their own after a period of time, it is likely that there is inflammation in the dog's body, which forms inflammatory nodules. The dog's self-healing function will gradually make the nodules better. Another possibility is that it is caused by certain tumor diseases, such as mast cell tumors, lipomas, and sarcomas. It is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital for related checks to see if there are surface parasites. If conditions permit, it is recommended to conduct a fine-needle aspiration experiment on the nodules.

1. Skin diseases

When dogs get lumps on their bodies, the first thing we need to judge is the nature of the lumps. For example, skin diseases may cause papules, which are small lumps or particles. These may be accompanied by itching and skin ulceration. If this occurs, we can do a skin scraping at the hospital to determine if the dog's skin papules are caused by bacteria, allergies, or other factors.

1. Tumors

Larger lumps may be fatty tumors or other small tumors. If these small tumors do not grow too fast or show no tendency to grow larger, we can temporarily ignore them. If they grow too quickly or start to grow in many places, we need to perform a small surgery to remove these small tumors. If no scratching or rubbing is observed, we only need to care for the dog at home and monitor it.
