My dog has paw lumps. Could it be a tick burrowed under skin?

Question

Hi, I have a 10 month poodle. I found a tick on her head and removed it. Tonight I found a couple lumps on her paw. Could this be a tick under the skin?? Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 20 days old | 6 lbs

Hello. Ticks do not burrow under the skin, so the lumps on Violet's paw have nothing to do with ticks. But this might be something to have your vet take a look at, not immediately, unless she is bothered or in any pain or discomfort, but soon if the lumps persist. Hopefully, this is nothing too much to worry about. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
