My Dog Has a Pink Growth on Her Face. Is It Serious?

My dog is a seven year old long haired Jack Russell, he has a growth on his face near his mouth. It is pink and generally doesn't seem to bother him but it does bleed if scratched. It doesn't seem to be getting bigger but is worrying

That's quite a big growth. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. Give Digby's vet a call in the morning to make him an appointment. Best of luck.

Is this bump on my dog’s nose a concern?

It looks like this lump could simply be a benign tumor, but that's impossible to say without seeing the dog in person. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. I'd give your dog's vet a call to set up an appointment for sometime this week. I hope this helps!

I noticed today that my 11 year old 50lb mixed breed female dog has a pink growth, in the inner thigh region right where the leg joins the body. The attached picture isn't the best but is the only one she will let me take, I don't think she's in pain

My dog has a pink wart type of growth on her shoulder but I see a black spot on it and want to know if it needs to be examined.

Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. This lump on Ophelia could be caused by a wart, but it could also be due to a benign tumor or a malignant tumor. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of it's cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. I would have Ophelia seen by a vet on Monday or Tuesday to have this lump examined and diagnosed so it can be treated as needed.

Hi, my dog has a pink/black lump on the side of her face. It is about the size of a pea. Can you please advise?

Monitor it for rapid growth or change. See your vet if it causes discomfort, bleeds or restricts motion/eating/drinking. Your vet can perform a simple fine needle aspirate in the clinic to collect a sample to submit for pathology. This may provide a diagnosis. Place an e-collar (cone) on Ruby if she paws at or rubs the area to prevent trauma.

Our 7 year old female Boston Terrier has a black (soft and movable) mole/growth on her face. It has increased in size since we noticed it about 4 or 5 months ago. What could this be? We see a local farm vet and he just said aww it's nothing to worry

This growth on Kyela's face could simply be benign, but there is a chance it could be malignant. This should be checked out by a vet because it's been growing in size. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. I'd give her vet a call tomorrow to make her an appointment. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Dog developed lump on hip that was light pink and hairless, a few months have gone buy and it has gotten a little bigger on the outside but a good size bigger underneath the skin. Doesn’t seem to bother her

This looks like a tumor. You need to make an appointment with your veterinarian to have this mass examined and preferably have a Fine Needle Aspirate done to send to a laboratory or have it removed right away if possible, in case it is a malignant growth. The FNA will help with diagnosing whether this is malignant or benign.

My carin terrier who is 8, had a growth develop on her face about 9 months ago. It's quite large now and it's black and pink. I thought it was just a mole. Now I'm not sure. It's soft and attached.

This lump could be an abscess or a cysts. But it could also be a cancerous growth that needs to be removed. Your veterinarian will be able to extract a few cells from the mass to determine what it is and recommend appropriate treatment.

My dog has a grayish bump on her neck with a black end on it. What could that be?

This bump on Baby could be a benign growth or it could be a malignant growth. Any suspicious bumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the bump to get a sample of it's cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. I would take Baby into the vet sometime next week to have the bump examined and diagnosed so it can be treated as needed. Good luck, I hope this helps!

This round pink bump has been on her lip for maybe a week. Has not changed and doesnt seem to bother her. Kind of appeared over night. What is it and what do I do to treat it?

This lump/bump/growth should be ideally examined by your local vet to have a diagnosis established. Your vet may want to perform an FNA (fine needle aspiration) or a biopsy to sample the bump and determine its underlying nature. Differentials would include skin cysts, infections, benign or more malignant type of tumors.
