My dog has a firm pink lump on his back after grooming. Is it serious?

Question

I haven't had my dog's hair cut for at least a year, until three days ago, once he returned from the groomer' s I noticed a pea-size pink lump which is firm to the touch on his back. I am unsure of how long it has been there, do I need to get it checked? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | unneutered | 6 years and 2 months old

You can choose to either monitor it for rapid change/growth or make an appointment with Bailey's veterinarian to have the mass examined. A fine needle aspirate can be performed in the clinic to collect samples for pathology. This may lead to a diagnosis. See your vet sooner if the mass causes discomfort or restricts movement.
