My dog has a bump with a scab on her elbow. Should I just watch it?

Question

Hi there. I was just playing with my little dogs and found that she has this bump with a little scab inside one of her elbows. Should I just keep an eye on it? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 5.5 lbs

As long as Georgia doesn't seem bothered by it, I think you could watch it right now. Most dogs who are healthy are able to heal superficial wounds just like humans. If the area starts looking worse or she begins to seem uncomfortable, then have her checked out. If you notice it feels like a mass or tumor, have it checked out. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any additional questions!
