Thread: What's this?

Two raised lumps/ sores on his face . Thought May be ring worm form wild cats (x3) ? But I'm not sure .

Im no expert but last time my dog had a lump like that it was something cut her, they think a bone. Cost $200 for a weeks worth of tablets to sort it.

It was a squishy but hard center on my dog. Hope thats of some help

probably just a cyst

I agree that is likely a cyst. Does it cause a pain reaction in the dog when you press them firmly?

Rushy you could poke him in the eyes with toothpicks and as long as he was getting attention he would love it !
It doesn't seem to bother him so haven't taken to vet

Munsey use modern technology and email the photo to your vet, tell him they are not worrying the dog and ask whether they are likely to be cysts or something more sinister.

Would you get a cyst from a cat bite/claw

Yes

Munsey how long has this been on the dog? Did it just appear over night or something just building up slowly. If its infection antibiotics probably will sort it for 7-10days. Id be suprised if its fatty lumps on the face.

email the vet. Hopefully they wont say the usual "can't say without seeing the dog"...
infact email few. Get second and third opinion...

munsey is it on his body , legs also . i saw this same thing last weekend and it wasnt ring worm . the vet started my friends dog on antibiotics . ill call them and enquire for you

That doesnt look like ringworm to me, Munsey. Ringworm is quite distinctive.
