My dog, a mixed breed (possibly a schnoodle), has a large, solid, swollen growth on his rear leg that has grown significantly over time. It has doubled in size and now resembles the size of his entire leg. Despite this, he shows no discomfort, and his activity level, eating habits, and bathroom habits remain normal. What could this growth be, and what steps should be taken to determine its nature and potential treatment?
