Has anyone had experience with their dogs and moles? Within the past 6 months some have popped up on Frisk. He has one on his back leg, one on his front paw, and one on top of his head.
We asked our local vet about them a few weeks ago, and he said they are normal. Then again, years ago when we asked why Frisk is overweight and nothing seems to help him loose it, instead of doing blood-tests that would have told us he is hypothyroidistic, this vet just told us "He is fat and happy!".
Since then, I hadn't given them a second thought.
Today I was curious, and googled it. It sounds like some are cancerous, and it is often advised they are removed. Of course, this has me worried about my baby. Tomorrow we will make an appointment with our other vet(the one we go to for Frisk's hypothyroidism). Until the appointment, can anyone give me any input?
It doesn't help that a lump seems to have appeared on his side, too.It feels like his fatty tumors, but I want to be sure.
I don't have any closeup of the mole, but you can see it protruding from the top of his head a bit in the picture (sorry for the terrible quality). It isn't an abnormal color, just the same as his skin. It looks like a tick at first glance...
If anyone is able, feel free to enlighten me.
I can't help but be worried about my baby.
