A very common soft tissue surgery is the removal of lumps. Some lumps may require a biopsy prior to removal to help understand whether they are cancerous or not. This information assists us in planning the surgery accordingly to give your pet the best possible outcome. Once the lump has been removed we may recommend sending it to our external laboratory for analysis.

If you find a lump or bump on your pet please make an appointment to visit one of our veterinarians to discuss any testing and/or surgery your pet may require.

Although many lumps are benign (not harmful), some are more serious and are termed malignant. In the case of malignant (cancerous) tumours, early removal and an accurate diagnosis is extremely important to maximise the chances of a good outcome for you and your pet.
