 Tumor or wart in ear.
I found what looks like a wart or tumor in Noel's ear. I hate to describe it like this, but it looks just like a very red nipple. Shape, texture and all. I did some googling and the Papalamas virus wart came up. I'm probably spelling it wrong. When I first saw it, it was black, but when I cleaned it a round blackish hard thing came off so I'm thinking it was a scab. Now it's just clean, and very red in color but does not seem to hurt her, but she does not like me playing with it. I cleaned it and put neosporin on it. I'm going to try and get an appointment with my vet tomorrow. I only use one vet at the office and I'm not sure if he's in tomorrow, but will get an appointment sometime this week to have it looked at. Any input on what you guys think. I'm very worried. I lost my Newman to a weird cancer in his foot pad so any bump sends me in a panic.
