Thank you for submitting your question regarding Wapoo. It is difficult to say what the bump may be without seeing a picture. If it is on the skin, it may be a wart type growth. Bumps under the skin can be cysts, fatty tumors, infections or other types of skin tumors. A lot of times a procedure known as a fine needle aspirate is performed by the veterinarian. This is where a small needle is used to collect a sample of cells. The cells are evaluated under the microscope to determine the type of mass. With this information, your veterinarian can make a recommendation as far as if treatment is needed or not. I hope this information helps!
