Toy Poodle Dog - left hind leg "Seed"?

I took my toy poodle to get his general 6 week clip and wash today, and when I picked him up an hour and a half later, the lady who clipped him suggested I take him to the vet. I asked why and she said he had a "Seed" - I nodded and walked away to put my poodle in the car and found that his left hind leg was bleeding. It has since stopped bleeding and I have booked him into the Vet for tonight, but what is a "seed"? Is it like a tag of skin the dog clipper cut off? Or is it like a tic that got under his skin?
After speaking with a friend who's family breeds German Sheps, she said a seed is a term for a tag of skin that forms on some dog's skin. So I'm assuming the dog clipper must have cut it off by either accident or on purpose. Anyway - Vet said he would put my toy poodle on some antibiotics. Hopefully all shall be well!

LOL. Perhaps you are thinking a little too hard. Maybe he has an actual plant seed, or more likely a burr, that is cutting his skin.

Goatheads that get onto the skin can do a lot of damage. (a goathead is a really pointy plant seed)

EDIT: Ahhhh, I see. Schnauzers often get little "warts" that are very easy to cut with a clipper. I had no idea they were called seeds. Interesting. See? I learn something new every day!
