Poor Pablo! I would recommend to watch the mass closely. If it isn't changing or growing then I would recommend to just leave it alone. If you notice any changes or he starts messing with it then I would see your vet to look at it. Your vet will be able to tell you whether it is benign or malignant. Also they will be able to tell you whether or not it needs to be surgically removed. I hope this helps!
