I found a rather large, hard lump on my Lily today. It is on the skin near her mouth. I have never seen one like this before..it is hard and painless, but it has tiny little scabs all over it and it bleeds easily...I will take her to the vet but has anyone seen anything like this before?? I am concerned..Thanks..
She just had a dental, but I looked inside her mouth on that side and did not see any swelling. It seems to me that an abscess would be painful...and she is not in any discomfort.
Ru has had a small growth on her back for ages. I bleeds easily and gets scabby...it almost looks like a big wart. The vet didn't see any reason to remove it, but if Lily has the same thing, it could be irritated a lot because it is close to her mouth.
Yes, what Lily has sounds similar..I remember you telling us about Ru..thanks, Sylvia.
UOTE=Furbabies mom;2081048]It sounds like a wart also, but my dog's were older when they got them. I hope everything is OK.[/QUOTE]Thanks..yes, she is only 3..I didn't know they could get warts.
Alvin had a place like that on his back too. It would get scabby too. The doctor wasn't concerned about it because it was on his back, said it was some kind of wart ( I can't remember exactly what he called it ). Like Sylvia said, being close to her mouth might make them want to do something about it though.

Alex had something like a lump on his bottom lip. The vet did not want to do a biopsy because he said it is very painful and at the age Alex was unlikely to be cancer. It never got bigger and did never bothered him. If you did not look for it, you could not see it.
April, the only reason I am thinking a tooth is because it is near the mouth---and the pix looks about the same. I had a pup once that had 2 abscessed teeth that looked like this (at different times). I am not saying that is what it is, but do ask the vet. It is improbable since she is only 3.
If you have any of C Christensen's Peace & Kindness I would use it daily to see if there is any improvement.

Good morning. It does look like the "thing" on Ru. It is good to take her to the vet, but I'm sure you don't need to worry. MiMi wants to kiss Lilly's boo boo.
Thank you, Auntie Sylvia..we have an appointment for 4:30 on Monday..that is sweet of MiMi to want to kiss Lily's boo-boo but I'm glad she can't..it's pretty gross..:HistericalSmiley:
It looks and sounds similar to the warts my Samantha got as she grew older. Hopefully, it will be something as simple as that and nothing to worry about.
Thank you, Maggie...I did clean the areaas Jackie suggested, and have now applied the Bacitracina couple of times and it is BETTER ALREADY!!:chili::chili: The swelling has gone down, and all the nasty scabby stuff(sorry for being gross) is gone!! I can't believe it!:innocent: At this rate, maybe it will be gone by Monday, but we still have the appointment, just in case.You gals are just so smart!!!:wub:
I hope it's minor, maybe just a little blemish of some sort especially since it's already getting better. btw, April LOVE your new siggy, the girls looks really cute! It's nice they all cooperated for the photo : )

April what a scare, we all know our babies soooo well:wub: I hope when Monday comes little Lily is all well.
I also love your new siggy, how on earth did you get all three to look at you at the same time

Thank you..it doesn't look like a bite and I have not seen her scratching it..the swelling and bleeding is back..it looks like some kind of tumor...guess I'll find out later today..
Hi my friend, just checking to see how Lily is doing? I will be waiting to find out what is going on, w/prayers and interest. Please post when you can. Big hugs & stay positive!
Jett had something like that under his jaw/chin area where the hair kind of starts to grow in different directions. We're guessing it was something like an infected hair because it was a loose scab that came off by the time we got to the vet. I posted a pic of it on here a few years ago I think. Could be a bit of acne too.
I love colloidal silver and use it whenever I find any kind of skin irritation.
April- I wondered if it has something to do with that double dental she had. Some kind of abscess from a injection or something. Or maybe it affected one of her whiskers. On the second one since he didn't put her to sleep he may have used some type of numbing injection. ?? Just a thought.
Hope it clears up fast. Sammie sends a little "dance" to Lily.
xoxo
