my 10yr old sheepdog cross has a lump on his leg?

Older dogs get a lot of lumps and bumps, most of which are benign. But when a lump increases in size, it should be checked by a vet. See if you can get an appointment to bring your dog in next week.

dogs get growths. especially old dogs. usually if it is not bothering the dog or growing the vets leave them because why stress an old dog with surgery if it is not nessesary. HOwever. it it is growing now, i would return to the vet and have him look again at it, especially if it is near a lymph node or growing fast. they vet may feel the need to remove it. be advised that this will not be a easy fix because if the dog has already a habit of biting that area it sounds like it is going to need to wear one of those silly cones to get it to leave the area alone long enough to heal after the surgery. the vet can look it over and tell you what would be best in your dogs case.

I think ur vet needs to see a psychiatrist! If your asking this question again, why don't u call y our vet..again! Tell him your not happy with the results...go back...u probably paid a lot for the dog to be seen by your vet..or find another one who cares!

It could be a tumor(not sure though), especially if it's growing. I would take him to the vet again.

Just ignore it because it will most likely to go away.If it hasn't in a month or so take it to a vet.It may be infection.

fatty deposit or growth maybe
