Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and attaching a picture. I recommend having a vet take a look at the lump and sticking a needle in it. It looks like it could be a cyst (fluid-filled mass) Which is not concerning. If not, they can look at the cells of the mass under a microscope and possibly determine if it is something serious. They may recommend removing it while its small or continuing to monitor for growth. Good luck and kisses to Jasper!
