It has gotten bigger but doesn't seem to bother him.to me it looks like a slightly larger than normal wart. Does anyone have any advice on what this may be or if I should worry.
Answers:
Get it checked out. Tumors often just look like a warty thing.. or just a "bump". It could also be an infected hair folicle, or numerous other things. But better safe than sorry.
Could be a OLD age Wart or might be a cancer growth.
AH! Go to the vet as soon as possible! It could be:
*cancer- this spreads to the heart, and you know, humans don't notice cancer till it is horrid, so take your dog to the vet! HURRY!
*tumer- you don't want these either, they can rap around the nerves and parolize your dog!
Please take your dog in!
Any new growth should be at least metioned to your vet or visually inspected. There are many types of small growths that pets get on or just beneath their skin and most are nothing to worry about - but your vet needs to make that call.
I have 14 dogs now and have had at least 7 die of old age. About 4 of the ones who died already from old age, had warts on them. If the warts stay the same size and are only here or there and not a lot clustered together, then everything is probably OK. If you notice the wart growing, get to the vet quick! I remember the Dachshund (16-18), Poodle/Terrier mix(16+), Lassa Apse (14) and the Schnauzer aged at least (16+) all had warts for many years but they were as I describe.
I would schedule an appointment with your vet to have it checked out. Most likely it is nothing, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
