mrs tornsocks Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Archie's got one of these I think, same place. When he rolls over for belly tickles I have wondered whether it's normal but I'm sure it is. We have a chocky coat though and it's always been there and pretty sure it isn't red. Is it possible yours has been there for a while and you just haven't noticed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappie Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It's difficult to comment on description alone. It is not uncommon for some older dogs to get small fleshy pink lumps known as sebaceous adenomas, which do not require specific treatment unless they are causing a problem. These probably account for 50% of the things that owners refer to as 'moles', the rest are an assortment of skin tags, nipples, ticks, mast cell tumours, follicular cysts, pigmented spots, callouses etc. I would always recommend monitoring any lump for change in size, shape or characteristics (like colour, pain etc) and getting a vet opinion if you are concerned about it.
