i was stroking indie and noticed a tiny lump on her back. now i realise i am paranoid, but any ideas wot it is. i can move it around.

OH suggested it might be her microchip? can they move that far? (half the body length)

could be a bite or a cyst. Best get it looked at by the vet if its not disappeared in a few days.

Is it under the skin or on the surface?

Jenny I'm not an expert, but just using common sense: if I found a lump on myself I'd go to the doctor's, so if I found a lump on my dog I'd take him to the vet's

fingars crossed it's nothing, but better safe than sorry. Let us know the outcome

Hi Jenny as the others say I would check it out, if she was an old dog it could possibly be an 'old dog wart' growing but she is still a baby .90% it is a small cyst but best to be on the safe side.

Jenny, just had a thought about the lump. Did Indie get an injection there recently?
