Lumps and bumps!
Any ideas what these might be? Biscuit's had them popping up randomly over the last fews weeks but they aren't going away.. She doesn't seem to be chewing/licking/scratching them from what I've seen..

I would also try an antihistamine to rule out a reation to anything like grass etc.

Re: Lumps and bumps!
Despite having lived in it quite well for the six months previous, Chiquito became allergic to the world about four weeks ago. As a result he is now constantly covered in lumps and bumps.
I give him a antihistamine daily as needed. If the lumps are staying, are red/irritated and/or seem to be causing any irritation they can be a sign of secondary infection of the skin and it would be worth a chat with your vet

Re: Lumps and bumps!
If the bumps are a histamine reaction to something, a good topical application is Anthisan cream.
Good luck Biscuit
