We got home from a 3-week overseas vacation last night and picked Skippy up from dog boarding. While we were brushing him to try and remove some knots, we felt a little 'bump' under his skin, located on his right side somewhat above his forepaw.
Upon closer inspection, the cause of the bump appears to be a somewhat hard (like an angry pimple perhaps), round 'bb pellet'-sized (smaller than a pea) mass of sorts, under his skin. It does not appear to bother him too much if we press or mess with the bump.
We currently have no idea what this might be -- fatty buildup? Burrowed-in parasite? Cancerous lesion? We parted his fur and took this close-up picture. It's hard to see the 'bump' but you can see that the skin right above it has a few really small brown specks. Not sure if that's from the bump or if he has those specks all over his body though.
Anyone have any idea or experience what this bump might be?
