Best Answer

This is most likely a lick granuloma. It is a sore which is created by the dog obsessively licking a spot on his body, normally paw or foreleg. The consensus is that this is a stress habit. If the licking is frequent, the red bump is likely to become an open sore. There are products you can put on the area to discourage the licking, but their success is not guaranteed. Often the dogs will just lick the product off. Giving the dog lots of regular exercise can sometimes reduce the behavior. Whether or not it is a granuloma, you should have your dog checked out by a veterinarian. There is always a chance that the bump could be a tumor, or an imbedded object, such as a splinter or thorn.
