actually its a button tumor. we took her to the vet a week ago to get it checked out. apparently its fairly common among dogs her age and isn't serious and should go down on its own (she had some little ones behind her ears a couple months ago and they went down). she's also got a small one next to her eye and a tiny one on the tip of her nose. this one is big and ugly though. it also is right where her gentle leader and muzzle sit so it gets rubbed a lot. it doesn't seem to hurt her-- it just gets really itchy after walks and sometimes just when she's laying around. if it doesn't go down on its own we will have it cut off in a couple months (and she can get the cysts in her ear and on her back hip cut off too)-- yea for pet insurance. the vet gave us some cream for it that i think is just to help the infection (it was REALLY red when we took her to the vet and i think it had been bleeding from being rubbed). it is looking much better colour-wise now. its just big.
