My dog has a strange growth on her neck. Should I wait or see a vet?

Question

My dog has what looks like a blister on her neck, should I let it alone and see if it goes away on its own before going to her vet? (Sorry pics aren’t the greatest). Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years old | 32 lbs

It looks like either a wart (papilloma) or a histiocytoma tumor. Neither of these are serious. I personally would wait and see if it goes away on it's own. A histiocytoma usually will but a papilloma will not. So, if it does not go away within 4-6 weeks then I would have it checked by your vet. If you are worried though, you should go ahead and have her checked now. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
