Question

Hi, my dog has a pink/black lump on the side of her face. It is about the size of a pea. Can you please advise? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 8 years and 10 months old | 36 lbs

Monitor it for rapid growth or change. See your vet if it causes discomfort, bleeds or restricts motion/eating/drinking. Your vet can perform a simple fine needle aspirate in the clinic to collect a sample to submit for pathology. This may provide a diagnosis. Place an e-collar (cone) on Ruby if she paws at or rubs the area to prevent trauma.
