It will not disappear on its own, but lipomas are divided into benign and malignant. Benign lipomas have little effect on the dog's body, so as long as the tumor does not compress major tissues and organs, surgical resection or excessive intervention is unnecessary. However, malignant lipomas will spread to all parts of the body in a short period of time, so malignant lipomas generally require interventions such as drug treatment and chemotherapy to prevent the tumor from spreading to the whole body.

Lipoma Treatment in Dogs

1. Benign tumors only need to be removed. If the tumor is relatively small, it can be ignored.

2. Pay attention to the dog's diet and metabolism for lipoma. Surgery is not recommended for dogs that are too old to develop lipoma.

3. If the dog is young, has a good physique, and has a large lipoma, surgical treatment is recommended.

4. Malignant tumors must be treated in time, such as surgical resection, chemotherapy, conservative treatment, etc. Failure to treat the dog in time may lead to the death of the dog.
