My dog has a bump on his tail?
It could be a few things. He may have bumped his tail on something, or pinched it between something, and it's just a bruise or even a break. Does it hurt him when it's touched? If it does hurt him, you may want to consider getting it checked out. Most likely, it's just a bruise, calcium deposit, slight break, or something with water in his tissue (can't think of what it's called at the moment sorry) It could also be a tumor, but i Highly doubt that seeing it as he's so young. But like i said, take him to the vet or something. (Consider the first part before tumor. I seriously doubt it's the case here)
Little bumps above dog's tail?
I have a golden retriever who gets his flea medicine regularly, which I just gave to him last week. He seems to act like he has fleas, but I don't know how he could. He has little bites above his tail that he constantly bites at. They are little hard bumps, not very red. Please let me know what's wrong with my dog! The vet is so expensive! Thanks!
Dog has lumps and hair loss
My dog is around 8 years old and for a couple years now has begun to develop fairly large bumps under her skin on her lower back and around shoulder, with a few coming and going in other places at times. She has also started losing hair on the back of her tail and her shoulder where the bump is. I should also mention she has a black spot on her tongue that we're not sure if it's always been there or developed with this condition. I want to know what my dog possibly has or if this is a common problem
My dog has red bumps on the bottom of her tail?
i've recent noticed these little red bumps on the bottom of my dogs tail around her butt. she has been very itchy due to a skin infection that she had. she also is constantly licking her private area, and sometimes rubs her butt on the carpet. i've taken her to the vet numerous times, and she is highly allergic, so its an assumption that she is just itchy from the allergies, im just concerned what those red bumps can be, before taking her to the vet who i feel rips me off, any ideas or tips on what it might be would be a big help. ... Thanks in advance!!! =]
My chihuahua has a hard bump on her tail?
Hi, I have a 2 year old female chihuahua and just discovered a bump-looking thing on her tail, about in the middle. It's not so much an upwards protrusion but rather her tail looks fatter or wider and the point of the bump.. It's about an inch long. Also, the bump is pretty hard.. She doesn't seem to be in pain; that is, she's acting the way she usually does. She also doesn't mind when I examine it by touching it. I know that I should go to a vet, and I have an appointment made for this Saturday but I'd still appreciate some insight from other dog owners so I can be at ease. Doing research, I found a page indicating that it could be cancerous, and that is really scaring me.. Can anyone validate that... or does anyone know what other causes there could be for it? I appreciate everyone's time and insight.
Lump halfway down on dogs tails?
My 2 year old german shepherd male, has a hard round lump half way down his tail. it has been there for 2 months or so. we have had it looked at by the vets twice, they dont know what it is, they have given him antibiotics and steriod cream which has had no effect! all they seem to be interested in is removing his tail! which im not willing to do until we know what it is.... i did drain pussy out of it when we first noticed the lump, and drew a small amout out of it again tonight, but not alot. quiet frankly my vets dont fill me with confidence and the bill is rising and we still have no answer as to what it could be. it does irritate him and had a small red hole at the top where he keeps at it. were bathing it daily in salt water to keep clean. its not as sore as in this picture which was taken about 4 weeks ago. hes still eating, and his poos are fine, he also seems his self.

Bump on end of docked tail... Has it happened to your dog?
My dog is a 15 month old cocker spaniel and I just noticed that he has a small bump on the end of his (docked) tail. He has slight hair loss which I know is from the scar, but I'm wondering if this has happened with anyone else's dogs. Thanks. And please spare me the anti-tail docking debate. It's a breed standard, and you can double check at akc.com.
My dog has a strange lump next to his tail for a long time now, what should I do?
You should definitely go to the vet! It could be something like an innocent lymphoma or a bad cancer or something else, but you should absolutely check on the health of your furry child! You need to know what it is in order to be able to know on how to help your dog. If it is bad cancer, it helps to know and be prepared when to help your dog to cross the rainbow bridge.We knew that our old dog had cancer for quite a while as she developed lumps in different spots. We and our vet knew that surgery or other treatment was not an option as she was already too old. And she was happy and otherwise healthy and pain free for a few more years. One day however she started to be in severe pain and we knew that the cancer was getting to her from the inside. We knew it was time to call the vet to our house. He gave her something to sleep first and then the final injection and we were there holding and kissing her while she passed!
Why does my dog wag her tail when I say her name?
T4A2A, Sama.First this: "What" vs. "Why" Questions by Doug Parker on Non Sequitur Posts.Next, it’s because you’ve trained her to do that. All dogs are in training all the time, although most people’s models for leadership don’t include that. I wish they did. What’s in your model?Somehow, through the years of ownership and leadership and all of your interactions with her, you’ve just innocently interacted with her, but to her mind-and-brain—to her “I’m watching every little thing you’re doing (whether you know it or not) and taking it in and looking for all of the patterns I can detect so I can predict the end point that’s farther and farther away, earlier and earlier in your sequence of repeated behaviors” mind-and-brain—it’s been figuring out which things lead to which things, and from your production of sequences of sounds like[math]~~~~~[/math]“Urr”[math]~~~~~[/math]“Aee”[math]~~~~~[/math]“Ch”[math]~~~~~[/math]“LL”she knows—or rather, her mind-and-brain has determined—that the detection of the sound-string[math]~~~~~[/math]“Rachael”is going to end up ina walk, ora treat, ora meal, ora scratch on the head, orsome lovin’, orsomething else really good,and what you’ve done is to bump up her energy level a scosh. That higher energy level gets expressed behaviorally by the dog’s tail wagging. Think of the tail as the needle in the dial indicator of excitement, energy, or some internal sensation. It’s usually sitting at zero, but every now and then, it gets bumped up toward the high end, bounces around like some indicators do, decreases, and eventually drops back to zero—when she’s sleeping.So, in my model, you say her name, and all those things get triggered in succession. Do I have proof? Nope, it’s just common sense, based on years of working with dogs, walking side by side with Nature, and Her telling me what appears to be happening in the black boxes we call our dogs.You always want a calm and balanced dog.
What is this red spotty hairless place on my dogs (tail and tummy) she keeps chewing on and what do I do about it?
The red spotty place is probably your dog’s skin with a rash. She’s licked the fur off because it itches or hurts.You can take her to the vet to see if she’s allergic to something. They can give steroid injections and give you pills to help.If you can’t afford a vet you can try giving her benadryl. I used to give it to my dog who had allergies. But look up on the internet how much to give her.Nothing can replace taking her to the vet, though. It might be something serious and the benadryl, if it works, might mask the symptoms.Good luck!
