I have a 3 year old male Leonberger, He has had a hard Lump on his side for about2 1/2 years. Vet said not to worry about it unless it changes, it has not.  Gave him a really good brush today and noticed he has about 8 more!!. they dont hurt him, and they are all about the size of a pea. the seem to run down his body from his neck to his bum. I don't think they have been there long. I will take him to the vets in morning. Any ideas

Sorry no ideas Hooch, but I hope its nothing serious. let us know

I wonder if they could be sebaceous cysts?  Try goodling and maybe you will find out more and maybe get pics.

Copper has one of these the size of a small pea on his head (groomer noticed it, not me).  I rushed him off to the vet but she was totally unconcerned and said it looked like a common cyst.  No need to worry unless it got bigger etc.  It hasn't, but if more appeared I might be tempted to get one removed and biopsied.  Probably nothing but I'd just make sure.  Hope all is well.

My advice would be removal and send to the lab for analysis.  Fagin had a lump on his nose for about 1 1/2 years, which the vet said not to worry about.  He went in for an op on his eye in June, so I asked the vet to remove the lump at the same time, as it worried me.  It turned out to be malignant!  It was on the lower end of the scale, i.e. not an agressive form of cancer, but cancer is cancer and better removed than left to spread.  

Hope everything turns out well.
