Found bump on my Yorkie's back - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I found a bump on my Yorkie's back, it looks like a wart. It doesn't seem to be bothering him at all even when I touch it. It isn't that big, it's about the size of one of those small swarovski gems they stick on shoes and phones. It seems as if it just might fall off any time soon. Should I get it checked out? Or has someone had a simliar experience and it should take care of itself? Thanks

I dont have any experience with this but it might be wise to get it looked at by a vet...could it be a scab from a bug bite or is it a growth of some sort? When you say wart I think of thickened skin and warts dont fall off...maybe a picture would help??

It could be a tumor. I'd have it looked at
