My dog has what looks like a raised scab on her leg. It's round, slightly raised, and hard to the touch. She doesn't seem that bothered by it, and is not sensitive to the touch. I noticed it about a week and a half ago and have been checking it - it's no bigger or inflamed but also does not seem to be shrinking. What is it?

That looks more like a mass on Buffy's leg. If these lesion is not going away within a couple weeks, make an appointment to have it examined. The doctor will feel the mass and may recommend to take a small sample for testing to make sure its nothing to be concerned about.

Hi, this does not look like anything to be concerned about. If you wanted to monitor it better, you can clip the hair around the bump to check it for redness, swelling or discharge. It could be a bug bite or maybe a cyst. It's a good sign it is getting smaller. If it grows bigger or changes shape, i would have it looked at by a vet. Good luck, i hope this helps!
