My dog, Malcolm, a 17-month-old, has developed bumps on his hind leg that have spread over the last two days. He doesn't aggressively lick or rub them, but it seems to hurt when I push on them. He's been paddle boarding in a lake recently. What could these bumps be and what should I do?

My dog (a 4-year-old Boxer named Gus, weighing 80 pounds) ate a dozen ornamental cherries from our backyard tree. I found the pits in his stool and am concerned about toxicity. He has shown no symptoms other than the pits in his stool, and he is eating, drinking, and playing normally. What should I do to ensure his safety, and should I be worried about future access to these cherries?
