Carole - a fatty growth doesn't have to be removed, unless it somehow interferes with the activities of the animal. Most dogs and cats tend to get these fat deposits and/or warts as they age.

Most vets just keep an eye on them and check from time to time to see if there is any change in it that would warrant the removal.

Sparky has one on his side, and it doesn't bother him in the least. His doc just checks it whenever he goes in for any other reason. Ellie's lump definitely sounds like a fatty growth.
