Health & WellbeingMy dog has a fast-growing bump near his eye. Should I go to the vet?
You are correct this growth by Batman's eye could be a wart, but any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. I would recommend taking him into the vet to have it examined. 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. Without seeing it in person, I can't say if it's serious or not, but it is concerning that is has grown bigger in a short amount of time. I would have Batman examined by a vet today if your vet has normal business hours, or first thing Monday.
