What's going on here... clue's please

Post by hollymolly on Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:29 pm

I noticed these little spots/lumps on Inca about 3 days ago and i'm abit clueless to what they could be.. Maybe she's had some allergic reaction to something she's rubbed against but she is already on piriton (half a tab 3x a day) so would she still react to things...

I just can't fathom why they have just turned up... They don't itch her or annoy her at all, can dogs get things like heat lumps ... sorry if thats a stupid question !!! Blushing








Any ideas of what they could be peeps please... Really don't wanna take her the vets again but obviously i will if they spread or get worse ....

Milo has a few similar to these on the top of is head, that just appeared from nowhere aswell. Do they feel quite hard, like dried skin?

Im back at the vets with Milo on Saturday to get his leg checked out, so was gonna mention them then.

How are Inca's lumps today ? Yes to me they look like bites or an allergic reaction to something....
Hope she is okay now.

same problem

Post by _julie_ on Fri Aug 05, 2011 11:29 am

these look like the same thing my 7 month old has and they are in the same place. they are hardish and do not have a head on. they dry up scab over and when the scab falls off it takes the hair with it leaving a bald patch. i have just had him to the vets for them to test one and tell me what it is cos they dont know. results in next week sometime.

Hey thanx everyone for your comments and thankfully Inca's little spots are eventually going down... I changed here usual Piriton for Benadryl (only while she's got these spots thow) as i red that Benadryl is good for things like Hives & Bites.. She was on her usual Piriton for 2 days ( having no affect on the spots) before i swapped her over to Benadryl and they started to dissappear within hours of taking the Benadryl ....

Thanx again peeps for all your concerns ... bounce
