Hi there! Thanks for using Boop by Petco! These could be benign growths such as a lipomas or malignant growths such as a mast cell tumors, melanomas, among many other possibilities. I recommend you have Tuffy evaluated by your veterinarian for a test called fine needle aspirate which is an easy, quick and pain-free procedure which in the majority of cases will help reach a diagnosis to identify what the best course of action is based on the findings. In some cases, a biopsy is needed for a diagnosis. If it is malignant and it has not spread to other locations, then surgical removal is recommended. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed that it is something benign.
