Dear Joanne:
I'm not sure that I can really make it out. Would it be possible to get a closeup of the growth? There are a number of neoplasms that can pop up on the tail, the majority of which are benign. I would probably pick tumor over a site of injury.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, dVM

However the vet (not our normal one) said that it looks like a growth (like a tumor). He said it looks like it was injured or stepped on (yeah, and then he stepped on her!). He said they could drain it and see how that does.
