My dog has little bumps on her neck and legs!?
During the course of grooming, playing with, or handling your dog, you may discover a lump or bump or or beneath the skin. To learn what it may be, see this table on lumps or bumps or or beneath the skin. Abscess: A painful collection of pus at the site of a bite or puncture wound. Basal cell tumor: Solitary nodule, usually on a narrow base or stalk. Round, normally hairless, and may be ulcerated. Found on the head, neck, and shoulders of older dogs. Ceruminous gland adenoma: A pinkish-white dome-shaped growth in the ear canal less than 1 centimeter in size. May become ulcerated and infected. Epidermal inclusion cyst: A firm lump beneath the skin. May discharge cheesy material and become infected. Hematoma: A collection of clotted blood beneath the skin; often involves the ear flaps. Histiocytoma: Rapidly growing dome-shaped (buttonlike) growth found anywhere on the body, usually in young adults. Lipoma: Smooth round or oblong growth beneath the skin; feels somewhat soft. Mast cell tumor: Solitary or multiple growths usually found on the trunk, perineum, and legs. More prevalent in certain breeds, including Boxers, Golden Retrievers, Bulldogs, and Boston Terriers. Melanoma: A brown or black pigmented nodule found in areas of dark skin. Growths in mouth and nailbeds usually are malignant. Perianal gland tumor: A solitary or multinodular growth in the perineum around the anus. Occurs most often in older intact males. Sebaceous adenoma: Also called sebaceous cyst. Smooth, pink, wartlike growth less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Most common on the eyelids and limbs. Occurs in older individuals (average age 10). Very common in Poodles and Cocker Spaniels. Skin papillomas: These grow out from the skin and may look like a wart. Not painful or dangerous Soft-tissue sarcomas: Ill-defined or well-demarcated masses of varying size and location. Often slow growing. Squamous cell carcinoma: A nonhealing gray or reddish-looking ulcer found on the belly, scrotum, feet, legs, lips, or nose. May resemble a cauliflowerlike growth. Transmissible venereal tumors: Ulcerated, often multiple cauliflower-like growths on the genitalia of both sexes. Go to the vet if I were you :)
My dog has two lumps in the left side of neck?!?
My puppy grew a 2nd lump on the left side of neck I haven't took her to the vet for it because I don't have the time or money until exactly next week what's the worst that could happen through that time frame. I really care for her people say it could be a cyst or cancer so I'm really worried! Vet bills are expensive and I'm only 16, that's why I'm taking her next week. She hasn't showed any signs of pain she's her normal self and it's been a week that she's had the lumps.
Lots of red bleeding lumps on dogs neck?
About a week ago I noticed a few red lumps on my dogs neck. They weren't very big, and honestly looked as if she'd just had a little fight with another dog. But over the last few days she's not been herself. I've only just realized that a lot more red lumps have appeared, all around her neck area. Some a much bigger then others, and you can feel lumps inside her neck as well. The lumps are very red and look sore, and look as though something is coming out of them, it looks like dry blood. I'm getting worried and was wondering if anyone knows what it might be?

My dog has large lumps on his body...?
Did the vet take a biopsy of the lump? If not how does he know it is benign? If he hasn't biopsied the lump find another Vet quickly. Our German Shepherd has numerous lipomas. As they appear, we have them NEEDLE/BIOPSIED by our vet and all have been benign. Currently, he has a fist-sized (and growing) lipoma on his neck/chest area, just below his collar, and another not quite so large at the juncture of his rear leg and flank. Neither are impeding his mobility at this time, but if they get larger, they might. I found an article on treating mast cell tumors with deionized water. This treatment was reported in the July 1990 issue of the Journal of Veterinary Research and it was used as an adjunct treatment to surgical removal of the tumors. It reported that dogs having both surgery and deionized water injections did better than dogs with surgery alone.
I have a nasty dog bite but there are hard lumps under my skin in the area around the laceration. It's 3 weeks old but the lumps aren't changing. Can I do anything to help it heal better?
I would agree with Alan that it is most likely scar tissue as I have similar underneath a surgical incision. The advice I was given was to give it 4-6 weeks to heal and then use massage. The massage helps to release tissues surrounding the scar which may have become joined to it. This in turn can slightly reduce the size of area affected and prevent loss of movement. Be sure to be gentle though and if concerned consult your own Doctor.
My dog had a large bump on his head hat has now become an open sore. what should i put on it? HELP PLEASE?
To me, this sounds just like a "hot spot." Luckily, this is common and can be treated with home remedy. Here is a description of a "hot spot" Pyotraumatic dermatitis Often referred to moist dermatitis or a “hot spot,” pyotraumatic dermatitis manifests as a red, moist, hairless, painful-looking sore that appears suddenly. Thick-coated, longhaired dog breeds, such as golden retrievers, Newfoundlands, German shepherds, and Bernese mountain dogs are particularly susceptible to hot spots. The raw areas develop when something causes such severe itching or irritation that a dog scratches and licks his skin raw. Often, this licking and scratching goes on at night, so the sudden appearance of the sore can be an unpleasant surprise for a pet owner. Hot spots are caused by bacteria that naturally inhabit the surface of the skin. They develop when incessant scratching and biting damage the skin enough to break down its barrier function (primary non-specific immunity). The bacteria then proliferate, causing more irritation. Hot spots frequently develop at the site of a flea bite but may result from allergic reactions, ear infections, and other irritants. They are more common in hot, humid weather Remedy: 1. trim away all hair near the sore 2. get an astrigent -- Domeboros is sold here and in most places at the drugstore. It's a powder you mix with warm water and dunk gauze in. Hold the astrigent pad to the sore for 10 minutes. ( my husband always gets this job). The idea is to dry it out so that it can harden again. You want it to scab. I've also heard that people use witch hazel. 3. If your dog is still itching it, put an anti-itch spray on (at drugstore) -- but not too much because you don't want to get it really wet again. 4. Keep an eye on your dog so that he doesn't scratch the site. Or, get an elizabethan collar (the cone thing that goes around his neck). Scratching will just rapidly spread the bacterial infection. My vet asks me to do the home remedy and keep an eye on it for 48 hrs. If it doesn't clear up, you may need antibiotics from the vet to stop the spread. If it is a hot spot, these things can spread like crazy -- don't panic if it looks like the sore gets bigger within hours.

What are the blue and red spots on an ultrasound?
When your ultrasound tech puts color on your picture, she's looking for blood flow. Red is blood that is flowing towards the probe, and blue is flowing away. She was probably just checking to see if there was blood flow to the baby. The bubble was probably the sac that contains the amniotic fluid, and the lump was the baby. Measurements of the baby are taken every time you go in for an ultrasound, to see how well the baby is growing. There are strict rules about what ultrasound techs are permitted to tell patients. Their job is not to diagnose problems, but to take good pictures and and write a report for the doctor. So you need to talk to your doctor to find out how things are going. Your doctor really should have talked to you soon after your ultrasound. However, if something was seriously wrong, a doctor would have looked at the images right away and let you know what was going on. So, if it's been a little while since your ultrasound and you haven't heard anything, everything's probably fine.
