This could just be a cyst from the looks of it. Monitor it for the next week or so to see if it spontaneously regresses. IF it does not resolve on its own, or seems to bother Tia at any point, then its best to have your vet take a look at it. If it gets bigger it can then be sampled to determine what kind of growth it is, so that we know whether to worry about it or not. I do hope that Tia's growth resolves soon! Best wishes and take care.

Hello. It is hard to see, so a hands on examination by your veterinarian is best. But I would guess this is just a benign cyst & you can watch it for a while. If it continues to grow or enlarge, or Simba seems to be digging at it, then do have your vet take a look. But I am not overly concerned about this.
