Please help identify lump on dog's face
My poodle Teddy has a lump on the right side of his face near his jawline. I have had our vet look at it a few times and he was unconcerned, but I am still quite worried about it.
Teddy has had this lump for a number of years and it has not changed significantly.
There is little to no hair growing on the lump, and it is fairly squishy to the tough. It leaks clear fluid on a regular basis, even more if gentle pressure is slowly applied. It does not appear to be something that one could lance, like a cyst. My guess is that it is a solid growth that is either infected or leaking sebaceous oil.
Teddy is 17 years old and has numerous harmless sebaceous adenomas. My vet has suggested this lump was similar to the sebaceous adenomas, but this growth seems significantly different.
Any help in identifying this would be greatly appreciated.
