My dog had multiple lumps in various places - most of them just turned out to be cysts or benign growths. It's definitely possible that your dog's lump might not be a major issue, but a vet hospital will be able to do a much better job of evaluating that then your regular check-up vet. If you're concerned, you should definitely get him checked early on, because the whole process might be easier on him (and you) if you catch it early.

Better safe than sorry - you're better off taking him in only to find that it's benign than you are putting it off and having it turn out to be malignant.

thanks for the other part of your post that i didn't quote and that insight.

the vet's office i go to is a veterinary hospital and i made an appt for him to go tomorrow after work.

From what I know no legitimate vet would offer you the option of allowing you the option to overdose your dog at home on painkillers. If you plan on keeping your pet alive, they can/do usually prescribe some form of painkiller to assist with the animals pain (obviously).

oh i don't want to overdose him at home. i want to control his pain until he passes away naturally. kind of like you do for a person. i would never want to make him overdose.

we had put a cat to sleep once and they let me stay in the room with it but idk how common that is. i'd rather not watch Ernie throw up and convulse from the meds like that cat did but if that were my only option i'd do it.
