My puppy has a pink lump on his nose. When should I see the vet?

Question

Hello I have an 8 month old shih tuz called benji. These past 2 days I have noticed a little pink lump on the bottom of his nose. I cant recall him always having it, I have only just noticed it the other day. Is it anything to worry about and would you advise going to my local vets? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 6 days old

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I would not be concerned about this small pink area on Benji's nose at this time. As long as he is acting normally - eating/drinking/urinating/defecating normally - I would not be worried. I recommend monitoring the area over the next week or so, and if it changes in appearance, i.e. becomes larger or irritated, I would have Benji evaluated by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful!
