It could be benign, but it could also be malignant. Early detection and treatment can increase the success rate of treatment and provide a better quality of life for the animal. The appearance of a lump may indicate an underlying issue within the animal&#8217;s body, so it is crucial to seek veterinary care and advice as soon as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you find a lump on your animal, it is important to respond correctly.
