When our pets get older we start to notice more lumps and bumps appearing in random places. You'll want to continue to monitor the growth and if you notice any changes in size, shape, or color visit you local Veterinarian and request a fine needle aspiration. This will allow your doctor to identify the cell type of the growth and proceed with an appropriate treatment plan.
