Question
I just noticed a small lump on my female pugs genital area... She has had small wart- like bumps on her face in the past, but this does not look exactly the same. Do you have any ideas?

Answer
If you've seen those bumps on her face you must be feeding her from a plastic bowl, or giving her water in one. Feed and water her from stainless only you won't likely see those bumps on her face again.
Did she just go out of heat? It could be an infection, a cyst, or a wart, Take her to the vet to be sure. Since I can't actually see it, there's no way I can tell for sure. I DOUBT it's anything serious but just to rule that out, I would have her checked out :)Pugs have the tendency to get all kinds of skin conditions which usually can be treated pretty simply provided you don't wait too long.
