My dog has a bump on her right back ankle, it looks like it’s peeling should I take her to the vet?

It is hard to evaluate a growth from a picture. I would recommend taking Lexi to the veterinarian, but this is not an emergency. I would call your veterinarian in the morning to make an appointment. They would be able to evaluate her to see if it is something they recommend taking an aspirate of or just monitoring. The aspirate will tell them if the growth is concerning or not. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
