My dog has a leg lump that's shrinking. Should I wait or see a vet?

Question

Hello my dog has a lump on his leg for about a week now but it's gradually getting really small. And i'm not sure if it's just a bug bite or something serious. Should i wait more to see if it goes away? Because it's still getting really small. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 18 lbs

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!
