staffy lumps

hi im new here.........................never had any problems with our staffy bitch before, apart from a full hysterectomy a year ago. she is very healthy runs about like a 1yr old , eats anything she can find. shes not overweight though. she is 9yrs old, weve had her since she was 6weeks. the problem is , last week we noticed she had a small lump on her front leg, we thought it could have been an insect bite. not bothered her though. this morning she has another lump (just come up overnight ) on the right side of her nose. this doesnt bother her either, if we touch it. the one on her leg is the same and still their. i just wandered if anyone had had the same with their staffy and could possibly tell me what it was. i have just rung the vets (they are only open for emergencies at the weekend ) and if i really wanted to take her it would cost me £80 for a consultation (YES REALLY). so in waiting untill Monday.
Has anyone had this.......................thanks mandi

hi mandi

Staffies are notorious for lumps, however i would get it checked out by vets on Monday - My wee boy now has 2 ( and he is 8yrs old ) but they have both proved just to be fatty cysts,

hopefully your girls will be the same.
best to check all lumps with the vet though.
