Recently I was bathing on of my dogs and noticed a small knobby looking growth on the outside but just below my dog's right hock joint. I can squeeze it quite hard but the dog is not bothered by it nor does it affect her running , walking, jumping, etc. Her vet gave a prescription for 7 days of 300 mg per day of simplicef to eliminate that it can be an infection from a minor wound. In 4 days no change in size, but dog remains the same ( very active, running, jumping, etc). After the antibiotics, I will ask the vet to do a fine needle aspiration to determine anything further. Anyone had this before and have any reasonable idea what it can be?

I recently found a hard lump on the inside of my boy's hind leg but otherwise at a similar level. Several hundred quid for blood tests + X ray later, it turned out to be not the dreaded osteosarcoma tumour I was half-expecting, but an excess of overgrowth of bone due to arthritic change. He is 7 yrs. But he wasn't showing any pain, and was running & jumping on it. I was extremely relieved, and while I can understand reluctance to investigate, I really recommend getting this checked out properly.

The lump has not changed in size , the anti biotics did not appear to make any difference. There is no pus head or fluid feeling to the touch. It feels like a lump and it does not affect the dog’s activity or movement and she is not even bothered when I squeeze it fairly hard.
One thing I can say is that she was recently vaccinated and I did read some where that dogs body can respond to vaccination by producing Granulomas .
Hexe?
