Pimple?

[OzzyBear]

Oz has a little pink bump (about the size of a..well, a pimple I guess) right next to his left armpit. It doesn't seem to bother him when I touch it. Is it just a pimple or is there anything else it could be? I doubt it's anything to worry about, but well...you guys know how it is. Thanks!

It's probably nothing!!!! We all worry about our guys!!! That's an unusual place for a pimple...They're usually on the chin or face. If it doesn't go away in a short time, I'd have it checked just to be on the safe side.

To be on the safe side I would have it checked. It is most likely nothing but it's better to error on the side of caution

Have it checked... Hopefully it will be nothing. I don't want to scare you.... I'll see if I can find my thread about my Charlie Bob, there are some photos. He had two small pimples on his hind leg... after the vet got done scraping them, they were larger when I took the photos. They were nasty, bad tumors.... Charlie Bob had surgery and came back with clean margins... I always rubbed my dogs at least once a week, checking for anything different, now it's more often and a more complete check. I'm glad Charlie's were caught early, one of the tumor underneath his skin was larger than a silver dollar.

I found the links but they will not work, just keeps looping me back to forums. You can do a search on lihuesue and charlie and you can find them that way too.



I found the links:

The first one is of his tumors after the vet scraped them to find out if they needed quick attention.

This link is to photos after Charlie's surgery... Warning: These photos are not for the faint of heart, , they are petty graphic, so you may not want to see them, I'll leave that up to you.

Charlie Bob is doing fine by the way... he turned 9 years old on the 3rd. He's all healed up like nothing ever happened.

The...whatever it was, is actually gone now. Got worried over nothing as usual, but I suppose there's really nothing wrong with that!

Thanks for the concerns guys. Glad Charlie Bob made it through okay!
