how old is the dog?....does it have them on the back of his legs above the knee? if so...its probably the lymph nodes....which depending on his age could mean a lot of different stuff. could be cancer if hes old. if the dogs pretty young the lymph nodes will swell if there is some infection going on in the body. you could give him pen for a few weeks and see if they go down. if its not the lymph nodes it could just be fatty tumors on the body(which cause no harm). or maybe hematomas like peachcreek said....if hes been wrestling around with the other dogs. if they continue to get bigger i would take him to the vet...if its cancer they may be able to give you pred(steroid) to help with the inflammation and maybe get them to go away if its not cancer. hopw this help! mrs, kbar
