Hi Jessica,
I recommend that you take your dog into see a veterinarian. The small lump that you are describing can be caused by many different things. This can include something that needs to be treated like a tumor or infection or something like a fatty mass that can just be watched. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of the lump after they have examined him. They may recommend a lab test to help diagnose or rule out certain causes. Any treatment that he needs will depend on the underlying cause of the lump.
