Puppy
Hi. I'm the proud mamma of Thor (a 9 month old Ambully).
Thor has a hard, round, red, flat bump on his left hind leg right under his joint that seems to be getting larger. He had this before when he was younger also when I took him to the vet for shots shortly after we adopted him, but I can't remember what it is. It seems to be a recurring problem.
A Dr visit is in his near future, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue with their bully & how they treat it. I have put an antibiotic salve on it but it is starting to bleed a little & I'm worried. It does not appear to have any type of "head", so I'm doubting it is an abscess. Like I mentioned before, the top is flat not round which also makes me think it's no abscess.
It it does not seem to be bothering him, but it is VERY red and looks painful (to me anyway). I've searched the internet several times but can't find anything similar to this bump.
thanks for any info or suggestions.
