Lump Removals
Finding a lump or bump on your pet can be worrying. At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, our experienced team offers thorough assessment and, when needed, safe and effective lump removal surgery for dogs, cats, and small pets.
Early detection and treatment can prevent complications and improve outcomes — whether it’s a harmless lipoma or something more serious.
What Types of Lumps Do Pets Commonly Get?
Lumps and bumps can appear on pets for a variety of reasons. Some common types include:
- Lipomas (fatty lumps – often benign)
Warts and cysts
Abscesses (often from bites or infection)
Skin tags or benign growths
Mast cell tumours
Soft tissue sarcomas
Melanomas
Sebaceous cysts
Infected or ruptured glands
Some lumps may look harmless but can be malignant or cause discomfort over time. That’s why it’s important to have them examined by a vet.
