Yes
lump last night on my dogs ribs it is small and solid i am really worried i have booked him in at the vets today i dont know what i will do if it is cancer or something else bad he is only 17 months old he is my baby :(
 
Hope he's ok, fingers crossed.My Jcck russell often gets little lumps but they seem to come and go, and she's 14 now. Let us know how he is.
 
I had a yorkshire terrier years ago who started getting lots of quite large lumps, much as you describe.

We took him to the vets and it emerged he was suffering from a type of skin allergy, the vet eventually put him on a prolonged course of steroids to counter act this and he went about his life as normal up to a very good age.

Hopefully you'll find your dog's lumps are similar
 
Fingers crossed it's nothing.
And you'll be surprised where they can remove lumps from, these days - anyway, so benign thoughts from me!
Fingers crossed and plenty of hugs for the wait.
 
Fingers crossed. As a dog owner I know how worried you get.
 
We had the same, with a cat... Vet was saying that chances are its nothing serious! Heres hoping.......... :thumbs:
 
Apparently with bumps it's only a very small chance that it is cancer on a dog.
 
small lumps are often Tics Or small cysts. neither are a problem.
 
thanku guys n girls he has been fully checked by our vets and they say it is nothing to worry about it is very small and it is attatched to nothing so i have to keep an eye on him if it changes in any way to get him back i am so please he is ok i was crying all day he is my baby :thumbs:
 
Unfortunately dogs can come with plenty worries.
Been down that road more times that I care to remember.
 
Probably just a fat ball, like babytiger my Jack Russel gets them, worried me too at first.
 
my border terrier has one at his rib cage as well, I was the exact same as you but cause you can move it about and its not attached to anything vet said it was just a fatty lump!

glad your dogs ok though!
 
I read the same too Chris. I was going to post it until I read the content of the thread and felt it inappropriate at the time...and once the good news was delivered, I'd forgotten :$
