If you've noticed a soft bump on Murphy's chest, it could potentially be a few different things. One common possibility is a lipoma, which is a benign fatty tumor often found in older dogs. Generally, these are not something to worry about unless you observe that they are growing rapidly, changing in texture, or causing your dog discomfort.

I recommend keeping an eye on the bump for any changes in size, shape, or firmness. Additionally, monitor your dog's behavior and appetite, as any alterations might suggest the need for further investigation.

Since his symptoms are persistent, I would recommend taking him to the vet if possible to determine the exact condition and cause. Regularly monitoring the bump and noting any changes will provide valuable information for your vet.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
