My 11 week old Doberman pup has a large lump on the back of his head between the ears. I have read some posts on here that talk about the same exact problem but, nobody has completed their story with a final outcome. I do have a vet appt. on Friday. Do you have any advise?
Thanks, John

Probably bumped his head. If so, it will go away in time.

The normal back of the head has a rounded bone that is sometimes a little more prominent on certain dogs. Has the bump always been there, or is it new? If new, jdd might be right that it's just an injury.

Agree with meadowcat. Ava our rescue had the same bump showing. The vet said she had muscle loss. Anyway she lost some fat due to now being active and is slowly building muscle. The bump is hardly noticeable now.
