Today, after playtime, i caught a glimpse of something in my 4 year old chin's ear, Talia. Upon inspection, which she surprisingly tolerated well, i am not even sure how to describe it. Its a black raised spot, It almost looks like a scab, but doesnt feel like one. Its soft like her skin and she didnt seem like it hurt when i touched it. I rubbed at it and it didnt move i also tried rubbing it with a wet Q tip and nothing came off. Has anyone seen something like this and should i bring her to the vet or just keep an eye on it?

I don't recall seeing anything like you've described. It could be something like a harmless human mole or a soft scab. I would keep an eye on it and if it gets bigger or looks like it is infected would take the chin to the vet. Don't think it's something to worry about.
