Lump on 1 year old?

[jaxx]

Hello Everyone,

Jax turned 1 last month and is growing so much! He weighed in at 93 pounds at his vet visit last month. Although, to me he still looks like all legs lol.
Today, as soon as I woke up I noticed a lump on Jax's side, which he did not have yesterday. No injuries have happened, and he doesn't seem bothered by it. I thought It could be a fatty lump, but is he too young for that? It feels more firm then soft. So I have no idea what it could be.
He has his 1 year check up in September, so I will be brining it up at that visit, unless someone thinks I should bring him in sooner.

Thanks guys!

Did he slide under something like a table and hit his back in the process? Does it feel warm? If he does not seem bothered by it, I’d leave it till September. But ya, I remember Kaiser as a one year old and how easy it was to panic over any bumps and scrapes.

I don't believe he slid or bumped into anything between yesterday and today. It does not feel warm, and I've been touching it and that area all morning and he doesn't seem bothered by it at all. It certainly scared me as it wasn't there yesterday and then magically appeared today.. And then Google immediately says cancer so of course that panics me, lol! But I will certainly monitor it and will bring him in sooner if need be.

I was going to add, don’t google it because everything is cancer Could be a bug bite since it’s firm, but maybe not since it isn’t itchy?Ya, I’d still wait to see how it changes. Hopefully it will return to normal on its own.

Oh gosh I should have been dead years ago according to a search.

Could it be a bug bite? Have you tried something like Benadryl to see if it helps?

LOL same
It could possibly be a bug bite, but it doesn't seem to itch him.
I will def try Benadryl and see if that helps... good idea, thanks!
