My young dog has a growing lump on her face. When should I worry?

Question

Bella has a growth on her face. It has been there for a few months and is getting bigger. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 25 days old

Megan, DVM, CVA · Accepted Answer

With Bella being young, this is most likely a benign tumor called a histiocytoma which will resolve in its own. BUT since it is growing, I would have your vet take a look st it to ensure it isn't cancerous and needs to be removed. I hope this helps.
