My dog has oozing lumps. What could they be and what should I do?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 40 lbs

My one year old mutt-pup has 2 small hairless lumps. They're oozing a little and it's not from licking since one's under her chin. The other is on her leg. Here are 2 pics.

These 2 lumps need to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Olive to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growths and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
