4 Days ago i noticed a weird bump on my dogs paw and that she was licking it a lot but i put vaseline on it and wrapped it up and now the bump in the picture looks a lot better. But today i gave her a bath and i noticed more on her neck/chest and one under her armpit. They don't bother her And she doesn't seem to notice them even when i Press on them. When you Press on them they bleed and let out puss. She has no other symptoms. she eats perfectly fine, drinks perfectly fine, has normal energy and plays and sleeps normally. I checked her for ticks or bugs and there's nothing. She has never had a problem or medical condition before.
It sounds like your dog is experiencing some skin issues that have developed over the past few days. The bumps you described, especially those that bleed and release pus when pressed, could be indicative of an infection or abscess. Here are a few things to consider and steps you can take at home:
First, it's important to keep the affected areas clean. Gently clean the bumps with a mild antiseptic solution or warm water and mild soap. This can help prevent further infection.
Next, monitor the bumps for any changes in size, color, or discharge. If they start to grow rapidly, become more painful, or if your dog starts to show other symptoms like lethargy or loss of appetite, it could indicate a more serious issue.
Additionally, try to prevent your dog from licking or scratching the affected areas. You can use an Elizabethan collar (cone) if necessary to keep her from aggravating the bumps.
You can also apply a topical antibiotic ointment to the bumps after cleaning them, but make sure your dog doesn't lick it off.
Ensure your dog stays well-hydrated and continues to eat a balanced diet. Good nutrition can support her immune system in fighting off any infections.
Given that the bumps are bleeding and releasing pus, and considering the spread to multiple areas, it would be wise to have a veterinarian examine her. This will help determine the exact cause and provide appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or other medications.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
