Worried about paw pad lump

#1 · May 31, 2022, 7:00 am

So my Rottie has been limping on and off lately and I attributed it to thorns, tonight though at a closer inspection, I found this raised lump, it's small and looks like the continuation of the paw pad. Any ideas? I am worried about cancer because I read black dogs get it more and she's a Rottie. Any help appreciated!

I am guessing it shouldn't be nothing major to worry about. My dog had one and the vet said that if it's less than 2 centimeters, it 's a good sign. Did your vet do a biopsy or a fine needle aspirate?

Any news on what it turned out to be? I'm curious about how your doggie is doing.

My dog had a lump on her paw, all vets said surgery was the only way to remove it, but I decided to try giving turmeric as I read others having success with it... well the lump just shrunk and eventually disappeared.
