Pet's info: Dog | Australian Terrier | Female | spayed | 8 years and 3 months old | 50 lbs

My dog is half blue healer and half pit. She's about 8yrs old and has had a determind yeast infection in her ears she has now developed a growyg at the base of her tail. It's difficult to describe but it's grown faster than I would think a wart is capable of doing. Any ideas. What this may be?

This growth needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Priss to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
