My dog has a red mass protruding from her vulva. Could it be a tumor?

Question

This is a photo of Venky. She has been having a protruding reddish mass in her vaginal opening since past 1 month and I fear it's a tumor. Can you check these images and tell me what exactly it is and what should I do to treat her? Pet's info: Dog | Canaan Dog | Female | 30 lbs

The pictures are very pixelated and I can’t get a good view. It does however look like there is a mass protruding from her vulva. There are a variety of tumors that can develop in that area. Some are malignant where as some are benign but you cannot tell the difference by looks. I recommend to have your pup examined by the veterinarian who may aspirate the mass or sedate her and remove the mass and send it for testing. Best to have this done early. In the meantime try to protect the area from trauma. She may need to wear a doggy diaper and an Elizabethan collar if she is licking at the area. Also check it for any evidence of wounds or infection. Best of luck.
