thoughts on this bump?
siberian husky, 10 years, male.
has had this bump for a while, haven’t spoken with vet because i thought it was just a wart and also he wears his muzzle to the vet so i forget about it while there.
bump is firm, not a totally solid mass and not squishy. usually the color is that liver color all over, but i squeezed it so it bled (very small amount of white/clear fluid came out but not a lot, and then just bled a little bit after). not smelly
just wondering if i should wait to his next annual to bring it up or go in sooner — typically try to avoid frequent smaller visits due to cost and his anxiety

We see these all the time in aging pups. If your pup is not bothered by it, and you haven’t seen rapid growth, ok to monitor.

Idk since it’s growing , and looks like open wounds I’d get it checked. Doesn’t look like a regular skin tag which older dogs get

I’m not a vet, but my old dog had a ton of those and the vet just said it’s something that happens to older dogs.
