| Take her to a vet to make sure it is nothing serious.

| I agree, have your vet take a look. It could be so many things. Welcome to YorkieTalk. Keep us updated on what the vet says.

| I agree with the others, take her to the vet. It could be a tumor, cyst or a wart but if your not sure then she needs to be seen by a vet as if it's a tumor , it could be cancerous & Needs to be removed ASAP. Welcome to YT ! |

| To be honest, it shouldn't cost much at all to simply take her in and get her looked at. Our vet charges $15.00 for a full exam including palpations, anal gland exam, tear ducts, oral check, hip check, stool check, ear exam, (the basics). I would at least take her in so the vet can look at it. It may be something very minor, and it could be something life-threatening. Fact is, you won't know unless you take her in. Like I said, it shouldn't cost much. Most vets will have a rough idea of what it is by viewing it, since they deal with pets on a daily basis; that's their life. You'll feel a lot more at ease knowing what it is, too. I pray she will be just fine, and that it is something minor and easy to heal. |

| Hi and Welcome to YT! You could call around to vets or clinics in your area to check the cost of a general health check or exam....
