2nd UPDATE 2/29- OMG!!! Rocky has a tumor like mass on the side of his body
Rocky had his rabies shot last sunday.
today my parents felt a hard mass on the side of his body.
Could it be related to his rabies shot? it's in the sam area where the shot was done
We made an appt for firs thing tomorrow morning to see the vet
PLEASE PRAY ITS NOTHING!!!
I'M HYSTERICAL CRYING RIGHT NOW!!
UPDATE 2/26
Rocky went to the vet and the vet said he's never seen something so large on a small dog
he injected a needle and took a sample out to be taken out to the lab. Pus came out.
He prescribed antibiotics and a warm compress three times a day
it could be anything. An infection, a fatty deposit, a cyst which would need to be surgically removed, and the very least he said something cancerous
So we're in limbo right now
The earliest the lab results will be in will be on Friday. It better be. we can't go a weekend with no news
Then we will definitely be getting a second opinion
so thats it for now. i know we shouldnt worry and hopefully its just nothing, but we're a overdramatic spanish family and we just can't help it bc we love Rocky sooooooooooooo much  
update #2 2/29
its just an inflammation. THANK GOD!!!!!! thank you for all your prayers and well wishes
we had a pizza party tonight as a celebration to Rocky's good health

Re: OMG!!! Rocky has a tumor like mass on the side of his body
poor puppy! My cat had a lump and it ended up being fluid and they used a syringe to get rid of the fluid. I know it is apple and oranges but hopefully, this will be the same issue for Rocky.

Re: OMG!!! Rocky has a tumor like mass on the side of his body
whenever my dog gets his rabies shot he always get a lump the size of a golf ball, I am sure that is what it is.

Re: OMG!!! Rocky has a tumor like mass on the side of his body
my dog had that - the lumps were pretty large (the size of a softball or bigger) and turned out to be fatty deposits (he's 10 and the vet said they can be common in older dogs)
hope rocky is ok!!

Re: OMG!!! Rocky has a tumor like mass on the side of his body
Relax!
My dogs get lumps where they get shots that sometimes last a mth. I have called the vet in a panic, he reassured me it was from teh shot and was right. I suspect it's that...so don't panic please.

Re: OMG!!! Rocky has a tumor like mass on the side of his body
Don't panic -- it's probably just a hematoma. I know many animals have that sort of reaction to shots. (One of my horses gets it from his rabies vaccine!)
Definitely call the vet just in case, but it's probably nothing serious!

Re: OMG!!! Rocky has a tumor like mass on the side of his body
Sandy has had a lump where she got her rabies shot for over 2 years, I guess it is not going away
I took her to the vet about 1 month after she got her shot and the vert said it was from the shot and nothing to be concerned with
the lump has gotten smaller over time but it is still there, still noticable
