5 year old yellow male with mass on hind leg
Hi I have a 5 year old yellow male. He is otherwise healthy and has a very good appetite. Recently he has been slowing down and with the summer finally here, he has not been as active. I attributed it to his age as well he will be 6 in 2 weeks. I woke up this morning noticing a marble size lump on his hind leg. Being right before the holiday week I decided to bring him in. He has lost ten pounds in 2 months and actually asks for more food than he usually gets so I was surprised he lost so much. The vet did a needle aspiration and said he didn't see anything to scary. But there are some cells and inflammation. He doesn't think it is infected. He said he will send the aspiration to pathology. Should get the results in a week. He said he did not think it was anything major but did blood work too just in case. He is happy does not seem to be in any pain. A little lethargic but he eats like a horse. Concerned because he is young. Any advice would be appreciated.
