My dog has a small growth between its toes. What could it be?

Question

I noticed this little growth in between my dogs toes today. I have been googling but all of the skin problems I have found look way worse. It doesn't seem to be causing Mozie pain but I don't want to not get it treated if it is indicative of something bad! Any ideas what it might be?

It could be a reaction to something sharp that Mozie stepped on, could be a small skin tag/wart/tumor, a small area of infection or abscess, or something completely else. If it seems to cause her pain, or is causing her to limp, then I would get it checked out as soon as possible. If she doesn't seem to be bothered by it, it can wait until Monday to be checked out by her regular veterinarian. Until it is addressed by a vet, make sure Mozie isn't licking it, since that can spread bacteria and cause damage to the tissue.
