My 15-year-old sheltie, Riley, has had a lump on his chest for a couple of years. The vet has kept an eye on it, but I am not sure what it really is. When the vet first saw it, he said the lump was a "fatty deposit". At that time, it was soft to the touch and about 1 1/2" in diameter. Now, it is...
