Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Candy has a bump. I do recommend all new lumps or bumps be evaluated by a veterinarian to determine if they are potentially malignant (cancerous) or not. Depending on what it may be will determine what can be done for it. Good luck!
