Yes, if it is changing then have Hermes examined by your veterinarian. After a physical exam, a fine needle aspirate can be done in the clinic to collect a sample to submit for pathology. If the growth has to be removed, it is better to do it before it grows too large. Place an e-collar (cone) on Hermes to prevent licking if necessary.
