My dog has a growth behind her ear. When should I see a vet?

Question

My 11-ye-old pug has this nasty growth behind her ear. She just had a bath, the scab fell off, it doesn't bleed otherwise. Recommend surgery?

This growth needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take him 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.
