I have a dog she has a little lump on her back I noticed I was wondering if it is a cyst or something else
I noticed the swelling 2 days ago. It is between the one eye and upper jaw / cheek. She is 10 years old with no previous medical history. She is not exhibiting any other unusual behaviour. Her appetite is as usual. No discharge of fluid in the eye or mouth. No signs of lesions or wounds. Gums are pink. I am able to touch the area and she does not seem to be in pain. It feels hard like a stiff muscle.
PLEASE ADVISE!
Regards

Ehrhard Visser Thank you SO much!!! It appeared quite suddenly…when I left the house that morning she was still fine, when I returned about 5 hours later I noticed the swelling. I honestly hope its not cancer 🙁
My vet will only be available tomorrow morning… will it be fine to wait till then?
My dog was attacked today by a neoghbour dog. She had a nasy looking tooth mark in her side and was clearly in lain, so we rushed her to the vet. After wxamining her and stitching her up, the vet told us that the wound was already showing signs of infection and had been there at least 2 days. He insinuated that we were lying about thw time of the attack and refused to discuss any other reasons for the infection. He put a drain in the wound and gave us antibiotics, but now I’m really worried that something else could be wrong with her. We weren’t lying! The attack really did happen only a few hours before and I noticed a mucousy discharge only minutes after the attack. Can infection set in that quickly? She was in good health and had no known wounds before today.
My dog is walking fine but was limping earlier. We think she may have jumped off the bed and landed wrong. Like I said she was limping earlier but works fine now, but when she’s standing still she keeps the injured paw up… Thoughts?

Dawn Ferara, DVM She may have injured a muscle or tendon. If she continues to favor it while standing still a vet visit is in order. However, she may have landed wrong and it could have stung hence the limp, but the initial pain is gone and it is getting better like if you stubbed your toe.
He did try to vomit once but nothing came up

julie brader Hi Brian, please contact your Vet with some urgency. Your Lab eating a large amount of food like this could easily cause “bloat” (Gastric Torsion) where the intestines twist on themselves. This condition is fatal if not dealt with quickly.
If your dog is trying to vomit and bringing nothing up could be a sign of it, he will of course be bloated having eaten all that food. Please do take him to your Vet and get a professional opinion on his condition.
I do.hope he is alright….good luck.
I recently rescued an 8 month pit mix from an animal control facility. He looks a bit malnourished. He has dandruff all over his coat. I have purchased high quality wet and dry food. I would like to know if I need to add supplements to this. I took him for a walk this morning to eliminate and it all looked normal. Also, is it safe to neuter him if he is a little thin or should I wait a few weeks. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Anonymous has he seen your vet yet? if not, that should be your first step.

PK Dennis Yes, Laura is correct. You should take him to see a vet for a general evaluation — the vet will give you an idea of when the pup will be ready to be neutered (8 month to a year old is ideal if the dog is in good health). The vet will also be able to give you the best suggestions for supplements.
The better food should improve his skin condition greatly over time, in the mean time be sure to brush him daily (boar bristle will help bring up a shine in his coat as his skin heals).

Dawn Ferara, DVM I agree 100% with PK and Laura. A vet is a crucial first step!
I know that pine bedding is dangerous for gerbils, but how about pine wood chews?

Anonymous I believe it’s the oils in the pine that are problematic. Best to avoid.
-
Alissa MacDonald no need to give wooden chews. just give normal hard food to chew on, like nuts.
-
Kelly Furgason avoid pine and cedar. The oils are toxic and also cause issues with breathing. Use care fresh or aspen or shredded paper for bedding. Don’t use pine wood chews either. You can find apple or pear twigs and use those, you can also use mini carrots to help with chewing issues. enjoy your gerbil!

Anonymous i’d get her to the vet. today.

debra yuhasz Some dogs keep themselves so clean during their season that you never see a single drop of blood. My Chihuahua’s are like that. I would be concerned about her sleeping so much. That is not part of a dog being in heat. Take her to the vet, please.

Elihu Padilla I have the same kind of dog you have and the same age to and she doesn’t act like this so I would get her to a vet

Anonymous unfortunately, he may be nearing the end of his lifespan. i HOPE he’s okay overnight. i HOPE he will be fine and he’s just sick. i might try to keep him warm overnight, and i’d rush him to the vet first thing in the morning.

debra yuhasz The lifespan for rats and mice is about two years even with the best of care. Of course there are exceptions to every rule. Keep him warm and get him to the vet as early as possible.
Thanks for reply .. She is under vat. Coz she is unable to walk. So it’s paralysis. Will it affect her organs?? She even had high fever yesterday. Is it fatal??
Ok….thanks
