Hi Maxine, They could easily be sebaceous cysts...nothing scary there...but you won't know till you have them checked out. Some vets will want to leave them and some think removing them is good. People have had good results with eliminating them with diet change...but go see your vet and have them checked. If you can't afford the vet check you can do a search and read all you can about the descriptions of the various cysts to see if you can determine anything yourself...then go if you are worried. If she is getting more than one in different areas most likely they are sebaceous cysts and are benign. Just my thoughts! Waggin' Tails in The Dog Park, Deanna

Usually they are soft and moveable but she has now developed one near her lumbar spine that is hard and immoveable.
