    My Dog has bumps on her, what are they?
    My 10 year old Lhaso Apso/Cocker Spaniel has small skin coloured bumps on her body, so far I've counted four or five that I can feel when I pet her. Last year she had surgery to remove a huge growth on her head, I don't know if that is what caused the bumps or if it was a bump itself, we couldn't send it away for testing as it was quite expensive. The vet did say that the bump they removed had only fluids in it and didn't seem to be cancerous. These bumps do not seem to hurt her, but she is constantly chewing on the ones she can reach. I would love for somebody to help me figure out what these are, so if you have any suggestions it would be great thanks.

    It could be unrelated to the bump she had removed.
    Are they just small red bumps?
    It may just be an allergic reaction ot something or even from fleas.

    Has anything changed around your home?
    Started using a new cleaning product? Planted any new trees or bushes?

    It sounds like a fatty tumor . Lots of older dogs get them . They are harmless but can grow larger if your dog is overweicht (hence the name fatty tumor. Take your dog to the vet they can withdraw fluid and test it to determine if it is cancer or not.
