Why what was the outcome? I have a dog with one on his spine, and it
is growing very slowly. The vet told me to wait and see two years
ago, and that it would not be removable because of the location. I
would love to find a way to get rid of it. I wonder if anyone knows
why these occur?

I've had one dog where this turned into a real problem. If the
lypoma doesn't grow and doesn't attach it's mostly a cosmetic
problem. However, if it does grow and does attach, as it did on my
dog's rib cage, it cannot be safely / effectively removed. My
little 13" Beagle ended up with a huge lipoma on his side and
couldn't sleep on that side. It had attached through the muscle and
between the ribs and couldn't be removed. I haven't had a dog with
a lypoma since then but if I do in the future I'm going to opt for
removal rather than "wait and see", even though they are benign
tumors and basically harmless.

Does anyone know how to get rid of (non-cancerous) lypomas
or fatty tumors that appear under the skin?
