The only way to really know for sure what this lump is, is to do what you already plan on doing tomorrow - taking the dog to your veterinarian. I'm an experienced Registered Veterinary Technician, and I still couldn't say for sure what this lump could be without further investigation by a veterinary professional.The vet will most likely do a fine needle aspirate (FNA) of the mass to get a diagnosis. The sample is obtained by inserting a needle into the mass, collecting fluid and/or tissue cells inside the needle. It only takes a few seconds, and doesn't seem painful to most dogs, just slightly uncomfortable. The contents of the needle are spread on a microscope slide and prepared with hematology stain. The veterinarian should be able to get a preliminary diagnosis in-house simply by looking at the slide under a microscope. Sometimes the FNA is inconclusive, and/or the vet may need to send the slide off to a specialized laboratory to confirm a potential diagnosis. Results from an outside lab are usually back to your veterinarian's office in about 2-10 days, depending on the lab used. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, your veterinarian will recommend treatment options, if needed. Sometimes benign masses/cysts can be resolved on their own without any further medical treatment. Others need to be surgically removed, but you're catching this early, and your dog is young, so he should do perfectly fine for such a procedure. You're definitely making the right decision by taking your dog to your veterinarian tomorrow - the sooner these things are looked into, the better the outcome. Since the lump is on the dog's head, it is unlikely related to the recent vaccinations. Sometimes dogs will have a small lump at the injection site for a few days after the vaccines are given, but you said his were given in the shoulder region, where they should be, so that's where you would be seeing a lump if it were from vaccines, not his head.

My co-worker had something similar on the top of her head.
Her doctor said it's just a fatty tumor which are fairly common - there's no rush to have it removed or any reason for it to be biopsied,

I told her she should get a second opinion just to be on the side of caution!

Answer 5

I am not a doctor nor do I want to frighten you. My brother had this symptom and it was diagnosed as Burkitt's Lymphoma, (highly treatable and curable). You are wise to see a doctor and this would be extremely rare as a cause. It could possibly be just a minor infection as well.

Answer 6

It is most likely a cist(spelling) I have one under my eye. it will not hurt you. It will stay there forever though if that is what it is. It is just a small piece of muscle tissue build up that moves under the skin but maintains its spot mostly. I often forget I have it. It doesnt hurt or anything.

Answer 7

Probably a sebaceaus cyst. Not serious, but can become infected if you let it go.

Answer 8

could be a mole or a benign tumor or a bruise

Answer 9

well maybe you are a knot head... just joking.. hope it's nothing serious. probably a cyst of some kind

Answer 10

a non-cancerous cyst
