Dog HAS A SMALL LUMP ON LOWER LEG!?

My Female 8 year old Jack Russell Terrier has a weird looking small lump on her lower leg, i noticed it a couple months ago, it hasnt changed shape or size, but its something i have never seen before. Should i be concerned or is it an age factor. Do you have any dogs who had lumps? and were they serious or not? Thanks

i think you might need to see a vet and ask if its bad that she has the lump or if its from old age cause in some dogs when they get old lumps start to form on there legs and backs and necks but i dont think that is the case for your dog cause she aint that old

Since it hasnt changed in shape, size or color usually you dont have anything to worry about. If the lump is soft/squishy, its most likely a lipoma (fatty lump). If its hard, seeimg the Vet would be in your best interest.
I hope that helps! :)
