Field Scenario
A groomer discovers an unusual new lump on a dog’s side during a routine grooming session.
What You Actually Do
- Communicate the finding clearly to the owner rather than staying silent about it
- Recommend the owner have it evaluated by a veterinarian
- Avoid attempting to diagnose or characterize the lump beyond noting its existence and location
- Document the observation for reference at future visits
