My toy poodle grows these little bumps that look and feel scratchy on top like a wart. I sometimes pinch them off and it only bleeds a little drop. They grow back, so i quit pinching them off. What are these and are they dangerous to her. Should i have them surgically removed. they’re too small to get a picture.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be benign or malignant growths. This could even be an infection. This cannot be completely assessed just by looking at pictures or a description and usually requires sampling such as fine needle aspiration to determine its origin. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!

This is a wart which is a benign skin growth. They are nothing to be overly concerned about. If it continues to be irritated and cause her to itch it you can have it surgically removed. These are just in the skin and can easily be removed. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Alba.

These bumps can be benign or malignant growths, cysts, an allergic reaction, infection, etc. I think it would be best to take her to your veterinarian for an exam. They will most likely recommend taking a sample of them to get a diagnosis. If you can get a good picture of them you could also post another question on the forum and we might be able to give you a more specific recommendation. Thanks!
