Fatty deposits

My labradoodle seems to have fatty deposits in various plays on her body. What are they? What do I do?

thanks,
Zoey

Breezytoo is right. These are nothing to worry about. Some dogs are predisposed to them. But every unusual new lump should be checked out at the vet's. Fatty lumps (Lipomas) don't usually cause any trouble and are harmless. They don't always have to be removed, only if they are huge, or causing pressure on other tissues etc.
But it's best to make sure your dog's lumps are definitely Lipomas.

  They are most likely fatty benign (meaning non cancerous) tumors. They are seen more in some breeds. Have her see the vet to make certain though. Labradoodle are the cutest!! You are blessed.
