    Hello, my chocolate lab aged 6 has a couple of lumps on him. He HAS been to the vet and one was put down to a skin tag but I've recently found one on the side of his foot. Has anyone else got a dog with a skin tag etc. Sam's seems to be growing (SKIN TAG NOT THE ONE ON FOOT) but it's very slow and he is not reacting to any pain with it however the one I found on his foot looks different , maybe a wart? Just wanted to know if anyone has a dog with these. Thank you!

    The skin tag is on front left elbow and the one on his foot is his back left.

        I don't know Kayleigh but I googled dog warts and it does look similar but I would get them checked just to put your mind at rest

            My border collie had similar warts on the front paws, also a couple of larger ones, one on the rump and one on the side of her face.#

            She was about 10 when they started to develop, I had the vet check them and they said they were nothing serious, but did not want to remove them due to giving her anaesthetic at her age, just for them.
            The bigger ones did bleed occasionally.

            My Cocker Spaniel has them also, they don't seem to bother them so I leave them alone.

            If they've been checked by the vet then i'd leave them alone,unless you notice any dramatic changes:dbgrtmb:
