My dog has a lump on her paw. What is it and should I treat it?

Question

There’s a little thing on Bella’s paw that has been therefor a couple of months but I have no idea what it is or if it should or can be treated?

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

I recommend to have Bella examined by her veterinarian. Skin masses can be many things but red raised masses are especially concerning for a skin cancer called a Mast Cell tumor. Your veterinarian will need to collect a sample of cell to examined under the microscope to determine what this is and if further treatment is needed. Have this checked out soon to be safe. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
