Lump and Bump Check for dogs and cats in Surrey Hills, NSW

When to book

• A new lump, or a known lump that grows or changes
  

• Bleeding, ulceration, discharge or repeated licking
  

• Lumps in the mouth, on eyelids or near joints
  

• Multiple small nodules that seem to be spreading
  

What happens at the appointment

We map and measure each lump and photograph it for your record. Where indicated, we perform a fine-needle aspirate. This uses a small needle to collect a few cells for in-house screening or laboratory cytology. For tricky spots or deeper masses we discuss biopsy or imaging. You will hear a clear recommendation with timeframes.

Results and next steps

Once results return, we explain the type of mass, likely behaviour and the best plan. Many benign lesions can be watched on a schedule. Others are removed with margins suited to their biology. We provide a written home-care guide and recheck dates so changes are not missed.

Prevention and monitoring at home

Run a monthly “hand scan” during a calm pat session. Note location, size and texture. Short coat photos on a phone make comparison simple. Seek review if a lump doubles in size, changes colour, becomes sore, or bothers your pet.
