My dog has a hard, raised lump on her leg that isn't shrinking.

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 35 lbs

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.
