My dog has a white, wart-like bump above his tail. Should I worry?

Question

My bordercollie is 4 years old and we just found a white bump above his tail. It looks like a wart, doesn't seem to bother him. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Male | neutered | 4 years and 2 months old | 50 lbs

If the bump is fairly small, not inflamed, and nonpainful then I would not worry about it. It is common for dogs to get lumps and bumps as they age. Keep a close eye on it for now. If you notice it getting any bigger or bothering Indie then you can take her into your vet to have it checked out. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck!
