My dog has a growing lump on her back. Should I get a second opinion?

Question

Noticed a lump on my dogs back and when my vet checked it out she reckons it’s a common one that puppies and young dogs get, however since going there it’s bigger and I’m really worried over it. Should I get a second opinion? Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 10 days old

It's difficult to know what this may be, but it's generally not normal for a bump to be growing on the back. I think it would definitely be worthwhile to seek a second opinion for this. Below is a link to some more information about lumps and bumps on dogs, which may help to give you an idea of what it may be. https://www.petcoach.co/article/lumps-and-bumps-on-your-pet/ I hope that helps and all is well with Seren.
