Poppy had her boosters and check up on wednesday and eveything was fine but the vet found a lump about the size of a cherry under her right shoulder. I am now so worried. She is chekcing it in 2 weeks when she has her VHD jab as she said if it grows it will need to be removed. Are all lumps bad- could it be a harmless one or are they nearly always bad.

What do they do- take it out and check it/ if it was cancerous would she go on meds etc? Not sure what happens with bund who have cancerous lump:(
 
Lumps dont always mean cancer :)

It could just be a fatty lump or even an abscess. Cancer would be at the bottom of the list of my suspects.

Surgical removal may not even be needed if it doesn't get bigger and it isn't bothering her
