Strange little lump on dogs leg.

[brenda]

I was grooming my dog today , and holding her front paw gently in the palm of my hand to brush the lower part of the leg. She withdrew her paw quickly , as though something was causing her discomfort.

I parted the fur gently and found a small pink bubble shaped piece of skin protruding from the skin.It is very tiny , just larger that a grain of rice really.

This thing, and it has remained the same size and appearance since this morning. has no hairs or legs or segments. It does not seem to bother her , she is not nibbling at it or scatching in fact she ignores it.

I would be very grateful if anyone ccould help with any info as to what it may be.Thanks to everyone who has the time to reply.

Update on dog's lump----- took her to the vet because last night I found another small lump on a different leg.
The first mini lump on the front leg is a wart-- so no probs I am told.The second lump on the hind leg is a blocked sweat gland , and this has to be monitored for a few days .She has to go back on S aturday to have it checked.
She has had 2 injections today and is now very sleepy.The sweat gland can be removed if it changes in appearance, but this will need sedation and am not keen on that.So will update on the position later.Brenda.
