My dog has a bump near his anus after gland expression. Is it bad?

Question

My dog has a huge bump near his anus, I've gotten his glands expressed less then a month ago but now there's only one bump and I'm worried it's something bad. Should I get him to a vet asap? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!
