I need to know what this is on my dogs neck

I first seen this yesterday Saturday when i was removing his shedding hair. He is a 6 year old neutered Husky. Where i live it gets really hot 95+ degrees everyday, so i take him inside from 9am to around 5pm when there is shade in my backyard. Yesterday when he was inside i was removing some of his loose hair and came upon this. Im fearing the worst which looks like some sort of skin cancer or tumor. I dont have enough money to have him operated but i will for sure take him to the vet Monday to determine his fate, i just want to know what you guys think this is. You cant really see good, but its a ball, like a mini ping pong ball. Can it be just a cyst?

Is it soft or hard? If soft it might be puss from an infection, if not a cyst or similar.

I would definitely go to the vets and get it checked out - let us know what they say.

I am inclined to think that it is a cyst. Rather than worry about it, see the vet and find out for sure. Best wishes.

Did you find out what this is? My neighbor's dog had the similar thing on the neck and it was a cyst.

Hope that's not serious case. Keep us update about what was that.

Sounds like a harmless lipoma but you must go to the vet to make sure ... good luck and i hope all is wel xx gnasher

My dog has had several of these removed. He just had one removed last Friday. He also had 1 removed last year and 2 removed the year before that. From what my vet tells me, they can become cancerous if left and allowed to grow. I just have them removed while he is under anesthesia while having his teeth cleaned. I would definitely have your vet look at it.
