My French bulldog has a sore on his foot. It looks like it might be a wart or mole or something. Should I wait and see what happens or take him to the vet? It hasn't changed in a few days.

I recommend to have happy examined by the veterinarian. Skin masses can be many things but red raised masses are especially concerning for a skin cancer called a Mast Cell tumor. This could also be something like a grass seed trapped under the skin. Your veterinarian will need to collect a sample of cell to examine under the microscope to determine what this is and if further treatment is needed. Have this checked out soon.
