The pictures look like benign warts, but It is always a good idea to have your vet examine any masses on M. In general, if a wart is bleeding it is worth considering removing it, so it would be worth discussing that with your vet as well. However, we often do not remove warts if they are not causing a problem. I have attached a link below with more information on warts. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1934 I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
