Any growth should be looked at by a vet! Good luck!

I agree, your Chihuahua needs to go to the vet to get it checked out.

Agreed. Take him to the vet ASAP.

Thanks! But It looks like that papolloma virus that dogs get. Ive seen it on there mouth before and the vet said it goes away on its own it kinda looks like that. Do you think i should put cordizone spray the vet gave me for rashes on it.

I would call your vet to ask if it's okay to use that. You don't want to use it in a way it was not intended. It may raise the possibililty of making it worse or causing another problem.

It could also, by your description, a Mast Cell Tumor (MCT). A vet visit would be wisest!

Do you have a picture you could show us?

Here is a picture of my Boxer's tumor that we had removed. It looked like a nipple of sorts, but grew very quickly and was redder.

That looks like it could be a mammory gland tumor. You really do need to take her to a Vet. and have it check out instead of putting anything on it.
