This could be either a benign or malignant growth. Based on Kane's age, it is more likely a benign growth. I recommend that you have Kane evaluated by your veterinarian to have a fine needle aspiration of the mass to find out what it is. This is a very easy, quick and pain-free procedure that takes little time and could provide a diagnosis to help determine the best course of action. Best of luck with Kane!
