My dog has a red bump between paw toes, not bothering him. Vet now?

Question

Our dog Kermit has a small red pimple looking bump in between his front paw toes. He let me look at it and it doesn't seem to be bothering him. I only noticed because we went for a hike today and I was checking him for ticks. Does he need to visit the vet immediately or should we monitor it and wait? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 55 lbs

Hello there. This is a great question. I don't think this is an emergency situation but I do think it is something you should have checked out soon like in the next week or so. It could be something simple like an infection or a clogged hair follicle (pore) but it could be something more serious like a tumor/mass even at his young age. It is always better to be safe than sorry and have something like that checked out by your vet. I hope this helps. Best wishes to you and Kermit! Dr. Amber
