These lumps needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Scooby to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.

It's more likely to be a swelling from trauma, i would recommend waiting at least a few days to see the swelling starts going down, if it doesn't then the lump will need to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take him to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.

My dog has a pink lump behind his ear. Should I take him to the vet?

Please know that without seeing Snoopy in person, there is no way for me to say for certain what is causing his lump. It could be a cyst, an abscess, a benign tumor, or a malignant tumor. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of it's cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options with you. I would take him into the vet on Monday to have this lump examined and diagnosed so it can be treated as needed. Good luck, I hope this helps!
