Just kidding.  I don't think it's a brain tumor.  However, last night I was
loving up my little Calvin (6 mo altered MF male) and I noticed that he has
a small bump on the back of his head, slightly to the left of center.  I
would appreciate any advice anyone has on this (I'm a very worry-wart kind
of mommy).  It feels like it is about 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch in diameter, and
it stands 1/4 of an inch of less high.  It does not seem to be hurting him,
since he let me touch and feel it a lot without really noticing.  My
question is, what is this?  Could it be a welt from falling and bumping his
head or something?  But if it is just a bruise, wouldn't it hurt him to have
me touch it?  How long should I observe the bump before I take him to the
vet?  Is it some type of cyst?  If it is a cyst, how serious would it be to
remove it?  If anyone could give me any insights I would really appreciate
it.  Please e-mail me, so we don't clutter up the FML.  BTW, Calvin is
acting normally in every aspect.  He doesn't seem to have noticed the bump.
 
     Thanks a ton.
