This should be visible on an x-ray if it is indeed a bone tumor. You vet should also be able to get some cells with a needle to get an idea what it is. No...
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Like I said, an X-ray was done, but this lump was not noticible then. I'll be calling my vet about it as...
