My dog had cancer in the past yes but he just turned 11. Tonight he started tugging at a new growth on his tail. I need help on what to do.

Place an e-collar (cone) on him to prevent licking or chewing until he sees the doctor. A fine needle aspirate or other biopsy can be done to collect samples for pathology. This may provide a diagnosis. Treatment options can be discussed once results are returned.
