My dog has a slowly growing growth above his eye. Is it serious?

Question

Rango has a growth that looks like it may be a war above his right eye. It has been there for almost a year but is slowly growing. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 7 years and 7 months old | 60 lbs

I would recommend that you have Rango examined by a vet. There is no way to know what a small mass is without testing it. The vet may recommend a biopsy or a needle cytology to see what kind of mass this is. Even benign (non-cancerous) masses can get large and be difficult to remove later.
