My dog has a red lump on her abdomen and keeps licking her paws.

Question

I noticed my pitbull has a small red lump on the side of her abdomen by her upper thigh where her waist starts i guess. She doesnt seem bothered by it, shes beem eating and playing normal. Only thing out of the norm, which may be completely unrelated, is that shes licking her paws A LOT! I uploaded a few pics hope it helps. Thank you.

Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your concerns. Based on your description and pictures, I would recommend having the red bump examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. Your vet can insert a small needle into the mass to help better determine what the mass could be. The licking of the paws is likely due to an allergy and I would recommend reading the following article to see if this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
