Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’m sorry to hear Holly has a growth. I do recommend all abnormal growths be evaluated by a veterinarian to determine if they are benign (non-cancerous) or not. A veterinarian can do a needle sample (aspirate) to help determine what this growth is, and any further treatment or care that may be needed. Good luck!
