Answer 1

Our dog had a few, they're the dog version of wart like or mole-like things. Don't worry too much but don't fiddle with it and if it's in the way or changes colour or breaks or something then go to the vet. Have it checked up anyway.

i would say go to the vet and get his / her advice as you dont no wat i is  

Answer 3

A webcam?

Take him to the vet to be on the safe side.

Answer 10

Take him to the vets.  Ticks are brown in colour and do get bigger but dont take a few weeks to do so, unless it dropped off without you noticing and re attached in the same place - unlikely though
