What is this fur-free, bean-shaped lump on my golden retriever's leg?

What you're describing could be a keratinized cyst, a foreign body, a wart, or some other type of tumor. If possible I recommend your veterinarian do an exam to make sure removal isnt necessary. Otherwise continue to monitor it for any change in size, shape, consistency such as firmness, as well as pain.

It looks like a little wart or tiny cyst. These aren't unusual in mature dogs, but it's worth mentioning it to your vet the next time she's in for her annual visit just to make sure. If it does change color, texture, or size, get her in sooner to have it checked.

It looks like it could just be a benign tumor like a wart, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. Give Jake's vet a call in the morning to make him an appointment. Best of luck.

That is quite a sizable lump on Max! In a senior dog, there is always a chance that this lump could be a malignant tumor, but it could also be a benign tumor. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of it's cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. I recommend taking Max into the vet tomorrow to have this lump examined and diagnosed so it can be treated as needed.

Without seeing it in person it is hard to know for sure what the growth is. It is not likely a wart. Warts are caused by viruses and often seen in the mouth of dogs. This may very well be a benign skin tag/growth, but with any lump an evaluation by your veterinarian at your earliest convenience is recommended. They may take a small needle sample and look at the cells under the microscope to get more info and make sure it is nothing to worry about. They can also discuss options for removal if it is growing or if it is bothering pogi.

It looks like Pia has a growth on her belly, and it could simply be a benign growth. I would have her seen by a vet for it. Any suspicious growths should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the growth to get a sample of it's cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. The vet can diagnose what is causing the growth and if it needs to be removed or not.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to tell exactly what this is by looking at it. This could be either a cyst or tumor. It's more likely to be a tumor, because it's not common for skin cysts to be hairless like this. However, it has features of a benign tumor like histiocytoma. It's best to have Snoopy checked-out by a vet in order to get this adequately diagnosed. The vet will be able to take a sample and identify the cause of it. It's not an emergency, but good to have a vet see it within the next week or so. I hope that helps and all is well with Snoopy.
