My dog has a small pink bump on her neck. Is it a harmless wart?

Question

My dog has a small pink raised bump on her neck, it’s about the size of the head of a needle.. maybe a little bigger. It’s been there for a few months and hasn’t grown in size. It doesn’t seem to be bothering her. Any idea what it could be? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | 11 lbs

This is likely a harmless wart, especially since it has not changed in size or shape for many months. Continue monitoring it and if it changes in shape, size or color have your veterinarian examine it. Your vet may then want to do a fine needle aspirate (he takes some material from the bump with a needle and then looks at it under the microscope) to determine whether the mass is concerning.
