Oreo is in a bit of a tricky situation. I agree with your vet, in that if Oreo has a heart murmur I wouldn't want to put him under GA for anything other than a life threatening illness. This lump is probably nothing to worry about in the grand scheme of things, however it is starting to break out and could potentially get infected. I would advise you to bathe the broken piece daily with chlorhexidine bro try and keep it clean. If it does become infected oreo will need treatment. I would avoid having it surgically removed unless no other option is present.
