Hello,
I would be grateful for your advice.
I noticed a tiny wart-like white growth on the head of our jack russell yesterday and am unsure of what this could be. It is quite hard but seems stuck and unwilling to detach without considerable force being put into it.
I would very much appreciate for advice from any members who may have seen something similar in their dog.
Many thanks!

I don't think that looks like a wart, it looks like it is more open if you know what I mean, and the redness looks like blood.

Usually with lumps and bumps I'd do what I'd do if I found the same on myself - wait a few days and see if they go; if not, I'd get professional help from my doctor.

With this, I think I'd send the photo to my vet. Can you do that?
