Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’m sorry to hear Rupert has a growth you have found. I do recommend all abnormal growths be evaluated by a veterinarian to determine if they are benign (non-cancerous) or something more concerning. Typically this can be diagnosed with a needle sample by your veterinarian, and any further treatment needs discussed if necessary. Good luck!
