ONE of the great benefits of regular grooming is that you can keep a watchful eye for lumps and bumps. If your pet develops a lump, there may be several possible underlying causes. These include allergic reactions, abscesses, hernias, and tumours.
The most serious of these are tumours, which are either benign — tending to be slow growing and to remain in one place, or malignant - which invade the surrounding tissues and may also spread to other parts of the body.
If you find a lump on your pet it is therefore very important that we examine it in order to determine the underlying cause, allowing any required treatment to be started as soon as possible. Please contact us if you are concerned.
