Sudden growth/lesion on snout
The day before I left town (Labor day) I noticed a bump on Doc's snout. There was no "growth" or "lesion", it just looked a bit swollen. You could only notice it if you were looking at his snout from the side. He is very clumsy and plays hard with my roommate's boxer every day, so i figured it was just a swollen bump from running into something. I boarded him for 7 days at his doggy day camp. I returned from my trip on Monday (yesterday) and picked him up. The worker asked me about the bump and when he went to grab Doc, I saw that the bump had completely changed. It is now an outer growth/lesion. He doesn't itch it or rub it too much (maybe once every 5-6 hours) I am making an appt for the vet tomorrow and will post an update when I know what this is.
Please feel free to post if you have had something similar happen. My mom is suggesting ringworm. We've looked up lesions/growths on dogs and I can't seem to pinpoint it, so I'm not going to do the guessing game and will just wait till what the vet says before I take a course of action.
