My dog has a red bump that won't go away. Should I see a vet?

Question

Hi. My dog Stella has had this red bump for 1 week now and has not gone away. Any ideas what this could be or what my next step needs to be? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund miniature | Female | 1 year and 7 months old | 12 lbs

This bump could be from an injury, a skin infection, or a growth. The next step is to have Stella seen by a vet since this has been going on for a week. The vet can diagnose what is causing it, and can discuss treatment options with you. I hope this helps.
