It could be benign cysts under the skin, or it could be cancerous. Definitely don't jump to conclusions until you hear what the vet has to say.

Don't freak out until something bad happends. A lot of the bumps are just nothing. Could be a vaccine reaction. If it is a tumor, have it operated on right away. That might help keep it from spreading. Good luck at the Vet on Monday. I hope all is well.

Take it to the vet on Monday. Chances are good that it is not a cancerous tumor. I have had lumps checked on my dogs before and they never turned out to be cancer. Good luck.

Hope its not a tumor I know we love our little guys. If its hard and knotted could be a tumor if its soft and you can move it around in the skin most likely not good your having it checked out though
Best of health for your baby

Not all tumors are cancerous. There are things called fatty tumors that are nothing more than a fatty deposit. Unsightly, yes, deadly, no. Don't worry. Wait until you hear from the vet.

I've had 3 Shih Tzus & they were all prone to lumps that ended up sebaceous (fatty) cysts that popped like zits. Don't worry, she'll likely be fine.
