My dog has a new red lump on his neck. When should I see a vet?

The lump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Charlie to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth 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.

This could be a benign tumor, but it is concerning that it's gotten bigger. 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. I would give Tavia's vet a call in the morning to make her an appointment. Best of luck.

I would take Charlie into the vet in the morning. This little red lump could be due to a foreign body, a cyst, or trauma to the area, and in my opinion it should be examined by a vet. It's not an emergency, especially since the bleeding has stopped, and it is fine to wait until the morning to have Charlie examined.

Without an exam and diagnostics, it is almost impossible to determine if the kump is malignant. Schedule that appointment with your veterinarian. A fine needle aspirate can be done in the clinic to collect samples for pathology. This may provide a diagnosis. Afterwards, you can discuss treatment options with your vet. In the meantime, keep Otis from bothering the area. You can use an e-collar (cone) if necessary.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Frank.
