My dog has a growth in her nostril. Is it a wart? Do I need a vet?

Question

Hello. As you will see in the photos, I noticed what looks like a wart type growth inside my dog's left nostril. It doesn't seem to bother her and there has never been any mucus/blood/thick discharge. She often has a runny nose, especially during the winter, but that has been the case her whole life and it's always thin and clear discharge. She's always sniffing everything, especially in the garden. Do you have any idea what this could be? Do I need to take her to the Vet ASAP? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 9 years old | 45 lbs

This could be a papilloma which is very similar to a wart, and if it is then Olivia may not require any specific treatment. It could be another type of growth or even a wound. If it seems to be getting larger or you do notice yellow discharge or bleeding I'd recommend having your vet take a look.
