Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has seen this or if it would concern any of you but the other day i noticed that my 9 year old boy sphynx had these tiny bumps under his skin. they move with the skin and don’t seem to hurt him, and i can only see them when he is sitting, otherwise laying down i can’t spot them. i thought they were just the way his skin creases, but i felt it and i can slightly feel something under the skin. i would like to know if any of you guys have dealt with this! he is perfectly healthy otherwise and had perfect blood work/urine test back in october. since last year, he as gained some weight as he sits around 10ish lbs. he has not gotten any recent shots.

Might be worth a vet check for them to feel them. Always great to act quickly if you notice a change like that. Please update us as your info will help others in the future.

@Payton Lucas , for peace of mind always recommend vet check .

sharing, I am not a vet , wanted to share to answer your question, my senior black sphynx TobyLove 10 yrs old has 2 exact same looking lump for years and has not changed in size or color nor bothers him. your vet can palpate and give assessment to rule out benign fatty lipoma. ( round often on sides/flanks) my other senior Batman ,13 1/2 yrs old black sphynx ,developed one now too along with my senior pup. I monitor regularly for any changes.
I opted to leave alone and monitor. My vet years ago shared he had a senior pup with many fatty lipomas. he could remove himself and opted to leave alone.

**each case is different. always best to talk with your vet. keep us updated often. all paws crossed .
Great his bloodwork urine test all good . hugs and head smooches.
