I have a 3 month old German Shepherd Collie mix. She has a lump on her tummy. She's had this ever since we got her. When we got her she was really overweight. What should I do?

I would take her to the vet. Without looking there is no way to know what she has.

I don't know why you put the rebuttal to my answer down as an answer to one of my questions, but whatever..........
you say you cannot have indoor cats and that it's not your fault the guy ran over your cat. That might be true, but I still do not understand why you don't fix your pets. You say one ran off to have kittens and got run over and the other one died while giving birth prematurely, if I remember that right. So those two you could've avoided. Do you have any idea how many cats there are sitting in shelters waiting to die because nobody wants them???
FIX YOUR CATS! And if you don't like my attitude......oh well! Don't put your business on the internet if you don't want anyones opinion about it. Have a nice life.

Take the pup to the vet. One of my dogs has what is called a "fatty tumor". He has had it since he was about 6 months old and he is 10 years old now. Just to be sure though, go see the doctor.

i have worked at a vets office and when i got a new puppy i brought her in for her exam. she had a small hernia on her tummy and the vet told me that every time i picked her up or when she was just laying next to me ... that i needed to push the hernia in with my finger.... over a period of two months the hernia was healed. this was just a small hernia as i said.... if it is a larger hernia she will be needing a vets care to have sugery to close it. hope this helps

well, it could be as simple as a harmless lump of skin,or their is a chance that it might be a tumur. Bring it to the vet as soon as you can.

It could be nothing or something that needs attention. I would contact my vet and schedule an appointment for it to be investigated. At least you will have piece of mind. Good luck

Go to the vet to check, or use frontline plus.

it sounds like a hernia. You should have the vet repair it when she gets spayed.

It could be a small hernia. Best to get it checked just to be sure.
