When I took Moe for his check-up I asked the vet about his lumps. He's getting them here and there, most peanut-sized but one almost golf-ball sized that worried me. The vet told me that they were cysts and relatively harmless. If any got too large we may want to have them removed so they don't burst but otherwise they were nothing to worry about. He said they were common to the breed. Does anyone know if this is true? My friend's elderly Basset (passed away three years ago) had cysts that were similar to Moe's and they never bothered him but I don't know any other Bassets with them...
We'll probably have the large one removed soon because it's near his neck where his collar sits - I'm afraid if someone pulls on his collar it could hurt him.
