My dog has a small raised bump on her leg. Is it urgent to see vet?

Question

Hi, my dog has had this small bump on her leg for a few weeks now. I thought it was just a bald spot so I paid no mind to it, but looking closer I see it is slightly raised. She doesn't bother it. She has her next vet visit for vaccinations in about a month. My question is should I bring her in now to check this out or can I wait until I bring her in for her next check up?

I would not recommend waiting a month. This growth needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Sasha to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
