Dog lumps, tumors and hair loss.

My dog is 11 years old and his body is changing. I can see the skin on his body hangs and droops just like those bat wings ladies get when they are “more experienced”!

He has started getting fatty tumors, which I’m glad to report that one of them is actually getting smaller. I attribute this to the food I am feeding him now.

He ate like a little piggy last night. Makes me wonder why, since it was kibble and Spooky hates to eat kibble. I was afraid he would be sick this morning because when he goes on eating binges, the next day he is usually sick.

But thanks to Innova, he is doing very well.

Back to the lumps and bumps.

I found a sebaceous growth on his back near his neck. It is white and almost pearly, in color. It is hard to the touch.

The sebaceous glands are microscopic glands in the skin which secrete an oily/waxy sebum, to lubricate the skin and hair.

I took Spooky to the vet and he confirmed my suspicions that it is a benign growth.
