My dog has a bump on her back. What could it be before her vet visit?

Question

Hi, so recently we took penny to the vet and she said she was alarmed about a bump we failed to see on her back. We rescheduled another appointment, but im too anxious to wait and if its something bad i want to be prepared. I attached a few pictures below for your opinion on what you think it might be. Thank you so much. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | unspayed

Unfortunately, the only way to understand the exact nature and origin of the lump would be through to your veterinarian clinical examination and laboratory tests. Clinical appearance can help differentiate among infectious and neoplastic disease but only by collecting a specimen of the lesion will give you a specific and definitive answer. A biopsy can be taken under general anesthetic/sedation, otherwise a smaller sample collected with a fine needle can be aspirated without anesthesia/sedation. Good luck Penny. Please post again on the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope my answer was helpful.
