My dog has a weird growth on his paw. It seems painful when touched.

Answer

Any new growth or lump on your pet, especially if it's painful or rapidly changing, warrants prompt veterinary attention. Growths on paws can range from benign cysts or warts to more serious issues like infections, foreign body reactions, or even cancerous tumors. The pain you describe is a particular concern. Your veterinarian will need to examine the growth, and likely perform diagnostics like a fine needle aspirate (FNA) or biopsy, to determine its nature and recommend appropriate treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
