He’s an older dog and has these lumps on several areas of his body. It started with one on his back and now i'm assuming whatever it is has spread to other parts of his body. Anyone with any answers would be greatly appreciated.
Answer:
He needs to see a vet, obviously, to rule out anything serious, but it could simply be fat deposits (cysts or tumors) under his skin.
There's a name for that condition, but I don't know what it is. Anyway, it's somewhat common in older dogs and it's not harmful or perilous, but please ask your parents to have him looked at anyway in case it IS something that needs treatment.
Answer:
It could be fatty tumors, or it could be cancerous. The only way to know for sure is take the dog to the vet and have it checked. I hope it's just fatty lumps. My brother has a sheltie and she has lots of them, but they’re harmless and more risky to remove them than to leave them be. Ideal to know for sure though.
Answer:
Tumors of some kind. Many dogs get them, many/mst are not cancerous all are pretty expensive to remove, if the dog isn't bothered by them I would not worry but you can have them checked out
Answer:
Could be harmless cysts, could be cancerous tumors.
Take the dog to the vet and see what the vet thinks. (Even a vet couldn’t diagnose your dog via the web.)

Answer:
Only a vet can tell for sure. Lipomas are common benign tumors in older dogs and are usually harmless but it could be cancer. A vet can tell the difference.
Answer:
Maybe a fatty tumor? Please take the dog to the vet and have him tell you what the problem is.
Answer:
They could be cancerous. My old dog was 7 and started getting bumps and turns out she got cancer and arthritis. Take him to the vet
Answer:

Answer:
