Does anyone know what this is on my baby?

[ZiggZagg]

Does anyone know what this is on my lovely DDog? She is a 10 year old Staffy. It seems to have doubled in size over the last few weeks, it's not hurting or irritating her in anyway and she seems well in herself. Can someone have a look and let me know thoughts please?

Tick?

If its just a "lump" and a bit rough on top I gess its a wart. But better to double check with the vet ... maybe next time she is in for a routine check.

It could be a wart.

A vet trip. If it’s nothing worrying it’ll just be a consultation fee

Thanks I'll get her booked in!

Aaargh, I cannot for the life of me remember the technical name for this, but a couple of my elderly dogs have / or have had them in the past. One dog had her lump removed as it was on an awkward bit on her leg, the others are still there and the vet has checked them out.

Try googling lipoma, or sebaceous cyst. Still not the specific name I was looking for, but my memory has just failed me here.

Definitely worth getting a vet to have a look though, just to put your mind at rest.

Old dogs do get warts. They don't hurt them or spread to humans. So nothing to worry about. Just check with a vet to make sure it's not anything malignant first x

Histiocytoma is the word I was thinking of - it's different to a lipoma, and that's the one that got removed from one of my dogs. I'm sure the vet said that the other ones are sebaceous cysts, and we just keep an eye on those.
