So the dog food is in a triangle, and a bump on his head...

Smokey may have an exciting day today, but his OCD is acting up I guess. He flipped his food bowl over twice and crammed all his dog food under the table into the middle of the stand and put it in literally a perfect triangle. If I had my camera working, I'd take a photo and video of it for you, so that you can see what I see!

We've now found a bump on his head, and at first we thought it was scar tissue and if it got any bigger, we'd see about getting it cut off but now it's causing him a bit of pain. It's about the size of a nail's head but raised, and very very rock hard. It has grown in the last few weeks, to maybe two nail heads, but nothing more. He rubs his head a lot now, though, around the area it's at.

Not sure if anyone knows about scar tissue or any of that, so I wanna see if someone knows about it before I spend 50 bucks at the vet for a check up.
Lack of cash=not a lot of vet care.

if its hard and growing quickly like that it may be a tumor...but there are so many other things it could be theres really no way for us to say a vet would be your best bet

I have never heard of scar tissue growing that quickly. A tumor comes to mind but I dont know if they are rock hard. Possibly a cyst? I would have it checked especially if it is hurting him.
