Any help identifying this growth? We already have a vet appointment and are thinking either mast cell growth or histiocytoma… it doesn’t see to bother the little guy at least.

Biopsy for sure, just wondering in the meantime…

You won’t be able to find anything out in the meantime. My boxer has a few of these and each one is nothing, he’s about to turn 11 and is healthy as can be.
Try not to stress too much about it, the Internet and forums won’t be able to diagnose anything. The biopsy/vet is the only one that will give you real answers

Might just be a skintag or wart-like nevus
I'd still do the biopsy just to make sure

Thanks, biopsy on the 17th.

My boxer had one on her ear and it just fell off after a couple months. Vet said it was nothing to worry about thankfully:)

My boxer has had growths over the years that will be present weeks to months and then scab off and never return

Our vet said not to worry about it, but I didn’t like it being there so I tied it with string til it fell off. It never came back and the sore healed in a week.

Get it checked out by a veterinarian. Boxers are known for this. Sometimes it can just be snipped off, or they might want to send in a biopsy.

Site I checked was boxer dog diaries
