My 8 yr old Min Pin Gunner is very "fussy"(he doesnt like it) about me holding him on his back, so I can rub his belly...and that makes me do it even more, because I know it bugs him (I know... I am a "mean" mom). Well, I do this every day (at least once) and until today I had never seen or felt any kind of lump or bump on him anywhere. Tonight, I felt a lump!!! :new_shocked: It is soft, about the size of a penny and about 1/8"-1/4" high. I pressed on it to see if Gunner felt any pain, but it's not painful for him at all.
Other "odd" things that have happened recently with Gunner...last weekend we went tent camping and he was not a happy camper (literally!). He wanted to eat grass, was nervous and wanted to sleep more than usual. He seemed to get better when he knew we were packing up to leave, so I'm thinking it was just his not liking the whole experience. Today, earlier, he vomited for "no reason". He seems OK, tho.
What do you think this lump could be from and do you think any of the other things have anything to do with the lump? Should I wait to see if it goes away and he doesnt have any other things going on or do you think its serious enough to take him to a vet right away?
