My dog has a suspicious growth on his foot. What should I do?

Question

My dog got this on his foot. Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 9 years and 8 months old

That looks pretty serious. It looks suspicious for a malignant tumor (cancer). I suggest you take Winston to your vet for an exam as soon as possible. In the meantime you can soak the foot in warm Epsom salt water to help draw out some of the toxins. Just 5 minutes a couple times a day. If he is licking it you need to get him a cone collar to stop that until you can get him examined. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=elizabethan+collar+for+dogs&crid=T2XCGQ7L2PZI&sprefix=elizabethan+coll%2Caps%2C251&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_16
