2 lumps: knotted muscle? and possible tumor?

[egostang]

My poor little foster girl has what feels like either scar tissue or a huge knot in her muscles on her neck. (no visible scar) It doesn't have a descript shape, but you can kind of see that their is something there even just looking at it (like the skin rolls up a bit at the base of her neck as if she had a collar pushing it down or something). I dont know if this is a result of her past stress/abuse or not.

Anybody else seen anything like that?

ALSO, poor thing has some kind of bump on her leg! I'm worried it might be a tumor, but there is a scar on her leg on top of it. I was thinking maybe it was a bb. At first I thought it was a badly healed bone or something. The bump moves around but is hard. She doesn't react to it being touched, pushed or squeezed. Sometimes it seems like she favors the leg a bit. You can't see the bump when she is laying down (can still feel it a little) but when she stands up you can deifinitely see it.

She has some other BAD looking scars on her legs (I will post pics later), and a few teeth-ish scars on her muzzle.

The knot on her neck could be a reaction to an injection. Soleil had a lump from her rabies vacc for about 2 months, a real hard knot.

AH!!! She did have her rabies not too long ago so that might be it.

Take the dog to the vet, these dogs are prone to mast cell tumors, believe me I know, my boy just went through this. The earlier it's caught the better.

She's due for her spay on June 6th. We'll have the vet give it a look then.
