My dog has a hard white lump on her back. Is it a tick or growth?

Question

My Lab has a small growth on her back. it is white, hard as a rock. And has grown a little in the last week. Iit has been there about 3 weeks. it is kind of loose as in I can move it around a little. it does not seem to be causing her a lot of pain, just maybe some irritation and discomfort.This is not a tic is it?

Without actually seeing the growth I cannot say what it is exactly. If it is a definitive growth the only way to say what the growth is, is through a biopsy. I would recommend having your veterinarian evaluate the growth on Ty. Remember you can always upload up to 3 pictures when submitting a question. That way we can tell you if it is a tick or not.
