Title: Small lump found on Bella’s ear?
Post by: IonaD on August 28, 2019, 06:10:48 AM

Hi all,

Quick questions. This morning during her mandatory ear rub I discovered a small lump on the outside edge of Bella’s ear. Tiny, like the size of a lentil (I couldn’t think what else to compare it to)...it kind of looks like a wart of some kind. Didn’t seem to be causing her any bother when I pressed on it.

Anyone else ever found anything similar? Should I take her to the vets or just keep an eye on it for the next few days and see if it changes shape?

Thank you in advance as always.

Iona

Could it be the site from a tick?

I just googled what they look like and it may well be.

She has had a few ticks before but they have never left a mark like this? It started to look a little redder over the course of the day so I’m going to take her to the vets just to be sure.
