Could be anything - I’d get a vet to look at it.
Just noticed Loki, 11 years old, has a growth on his toe. It seems to be attached to his toe on his right paw and is growing right under his toe nail. It looks more or less like a skin tag and is about the same length as the toenail. It does appear to hurt, as he doesn't want us to look at it. I believe it has been bleeding, maybe because he keeps chewing on it. Does anyone have any information or experience with something like this? Thanks.

Yep, vet, especially since he is 11.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that it turns to be nothing!

Definitely a visit to the vet. It's in a spot that it's constantly being walked on.
Sending good thoughts.
Good thoughts that it's something benign. I'd definitely have a vet take a look.
Vet ASAP. Fingers crossed that it's nothing, and I don't want to scare you, but that's a common spot for melanoma.
Thanks everyone. The growth seems to be shriveling up and hopefully will soon disappear altogether.
