I Have A 2 Month Old English Mastiff Puppy Who Has A Lump On Her Backside Of Her Rib Cage. What Could This Be?

Usually, lumps in dogs are fatty tumors or lipomas. These don't cause any harm except irritation. I am giving you some possibilities about the lumps, your vet can diagnose about its cause and offer treatment.

1. Sebaceous cyst. These cysts
   are made up of dead cells, sweat or clear fluid. They rupture themselves and healed. Sometimes they
   become infected and need medical attention to treat with antibiotics.
2. Lipomas: These are most
   common types of lumps and are characterized by painless, soft and round
   shape. They don't harm the dog and not treated. But some
   large lipomas  cause irritation and hence removed by the vet.
3. Cancerous lumps. This can be
   identified by your vet.
