I recommend taking Brody to your veterinarian for an exam. The lump could be an infection or it could be a tumor. Tumors can be benign or cancerous. Your veterinarian can take a sample of the area and decide if an infection is present or if it is something that needs to be removed surgically. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope the issue resolves quickly for Brody!
