Lump removals

Finding a lump on your pet can be concerning, but not all lumps are cancerous. Many are harmless, while others require further investigation or treatment.

Depending on the type of lump, we may recommend taking a biopsy before surgery or sending the removed tissue to an external laboratory for analysis. This helps us determine whether the lump is benign or malignant and ensures your pet receives the most appropriate treatment.

Early assessment and treatment are important, particularly if a lump is growing, changing shape or causing discomfort.

What to expect

Before any surgical procedure, your pet will receive a thorough health examination to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. We may also recommend pre-anaesthetic blood tests to ensure they are fit for surgery.

Throughout the procedure, your pet will be closely monitored using modern anaesthetic equipment, with pain relief provided before, during and after surgery to keep them as comfortable as possible during recovery.
