HELP! What is this?

misslexi · 01-30-2013, 12:05 PM

Hey everyone,
Has anyone seen this before? Do you know what it is and what the treatment is? I have put polysporn on it but nothing...

Thanks!

That is definitely a vet visit.

I agree, that looks painful

I don't know where or what that is so I'd also agree, a vet visit is in order :c. Is that on the nose? Get well soon love.

Poor girl!

My friend had something similar happen, I'll ask her!

I'm wondering if the dog got into something like a toxic plant?

Aww poor baby that looks like it hurts,I hope the vet goes well and it's a minor fix.

Oh good!

Here is a list of things that might help you before you go:
Causes of Solid-Appearing Lumps & Bumps on the Skin of Dogs

More:
Dog Skin Problems: Allergies, Skin Diseases & Dog Ear Care

And then this:
Causes of Fluid-filled Bumps on the Skin of Dogs would be the one I would really look at if what we are seeing is blistery looking like it seems to be.

You can check things that sound similar to what you see, and then google image them to get an idea. Of course that's not definitive at all, and like I had a sarcoptic mange puppy that didn't have the look - yet - but it might help.

Another tip - if your vet says I am not sure, let's monitor or whatever, nicely ask if you could get a vet dermatology referral. https://www.acvd.org/locator/locations.asp?ctry=Canada

Good luck!!!!
