regardless if its a cyst or lipoma (fatty lump) neither are emergency situations michelle but i already know your going to the vets later in the week and thats fine.  The biggest problem with either of these are if they grow the tail has so little skin so removal can be really tricky.

fingers crossed it is something very minor and let us know what the outcome is which i am sure you will any road  :)

I would have said more a cyst than a fatty lump, you generally get fatty lumps on teh sides of animals, and more so if they have some extra weight.

It sounds like a ummmmm hell cant think of name..............kocka had one and me too.......it will come to me in a minute...............or 10!

Cyst, thats what I was earching for. Best get it checked by vet  to see if thats what it is cos they can get infected and very painful. Kockas burst in the end and caused loads of problems and it had to be removed at age 18/19! I wanted them to remove it a number of years before but they didnt want to. It was on her back like mine but on a tail could be more of a problem maybe.

I believe there is also something called a fatty lump or something but best to get it checked out.

Same with mine it got so painful and was lanced I think but its started coming back grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Rocky has a lump on his tail -
Its about an inch down from his bottom - i cant see an injury so dont think its an absess.
It feels sort of soft and moves but i cant move it all around
(am i making any sense here ??)
