She has a bump on her leg thats very visible to see. Its soft and i'm hoping it isn't serious such as cancerous. I love my dog, please anyone can you help me as to what it can be? It really is big, big like half a tennis ball size, yet soft to touch. Please help me anyone as to what you may know or think it might be.

Your DACHSHUND probably has some sort of benign tumor

It sounds like a saroma (sp) which my dog had once. It is an injury which has caused some internal bleeding and blood has collected in a pool under the skin. If that is what it is then it can be easily punctured by a vet to let the blood out. It is not dangerous but it is always best to check with a vet.

Its a cyst. It may not be cancerous but if you have the money, have a vet look at it. My dog had this problem too, but we took it to the vet and the vet poked a hole and drained out all the liquid. It went away after that.

SOunds like it could be a cyst or tumor of some sort. I would take it to the vet ASAP to get checked out for sure. If it is serious it is better to get it caught early.

Take it to the vet. I wouldn't wait on answers from here. I have the same kind of dog. They are great pets. I wouldn't take a chance. Something may have bitten it. There is no telling really without someone seeing it.

It can be a type of ulser, tumor, or cancer, or it could just be a growth that doesn't hurt anything, however it could be deadly. The best thing to do at this piont is to take her to the vet.

it could be a form of a tumor, you will need to take her to the vet, and get her checked out. The quicker the better, it might be able to be taken care of.

if you really love your dog you would take it straight to the vet instead of asking us as it may be cancerous and the longer you leave it the worse it will get.
