A growth on Duke

[Mastiffmom1]

So Duke is right at 5 months old...He has a growth about the size of a golfball on his elbow....its soft and fluid filled (feels like) it does not bother him but I am so concerned and I know he should go to the vet but money is very scarce right now (we cant even pay rent this months) don't know what to do.....

Do you have any pictures of it?
I mean he really should see a vet, but a picture may give a better idea and if it looks familiar to anyone it could help.

This is not duke but it looks exactly like this

I would find a vet that will let you make a payment in the time until then try ice see if that removes the inflammation.

I dont mean to be in your financial business but if your credit is decent apply for a carecredit card...they can be used at then vet and u can charge the entire visit no money needed up front

unforunatly a divorce has left my credit in ruins...but we are trying to sell some stuff

Oh man..Well I hope you find a way to get him checked out.

I hate to bump this thread but my puppy has a similar growth on his elbow. I have read that it may be caused by laying on hard surfaces (we have hardwood floors) but there's no real treatment except surgery and that is a last resort. Anyone else seen this before?
