Question:

: Hi,

: I just recently noticed a small lump on his left side, below his rib cage, it must've developed in the last few days because i've never noticed it before and plus he just saw the vet about 2 weeks ago and everything was fine...

: Have you ever experienced something like this? I've scheduled another appointment to see the vet but it won't be for a few days, so i'm kinda worried about it.

Hi Chris,
Could your dog have possibably had a Rabies shot in that area? Sometimes that will cause a lump like you are discribing. Without seeing the area, you may just want to call the Vet and discribe it too him and see if he did get a shot.
Regards
Linda
