Strange White Bumps By Midsection Of Hip Girdle And Right Shoulder Bla

[Guest Artemis]

Hi Everyone:

 

My greyhound I adopted came to us with several skin tags on her chest and neck which I had showed to my vet during her wellness exam and to which she was able to twist/pull off saying that these were benign. Some of the tags returned but lately, within the last 2 weeks, in petting my hound I found what appeared at first to me an infected hair follicule which I left alone last week only now to find that it looks like a bulbous white mole or raised lesion. This raised bump which measures under a 1/4th of an inch in diameter is located in the center area of the hip girdle. In looking at it this morning, I felt another one of these bumps starting to grow to the left of the 1/4th inch bump, again looking very much like the larger bump which grew from last week.

 

Does anyone know what this is called and the potential for problems. I have an appointment with my vet for this upcoming Friday, but I have no experience with skin lesions of this sort with greyhounds and wanted to be as informed as possible. My greyhound is a small black beauty weighing 49 pounds and is 3-years and 10-months old. She is not a licker nor does she bite herself. She has some separation anxiety and was started on Reconcile (32 mg) with some improvement in her anxiety. I feed her a raw diet, twice a day consisting of a raw turkey neck/chicken breast (7 oz), with steamed veggies of brocolli, carrots, zucchini and squash (4 oz) and pasta (3 oz). She is getting a skin and coat supplement called "Ultra Oil" which is an omega 3-6-9 compostion, one tab of a daily multi vitamin and mineral and joint supplement, and Soloxine (0.75 mg) per day. Her thyroid panels have been normal with her medication.

 

Thanks to all who reply.

Any chance of a photo? I'd just leave it alone until your vet sees it on Friday.
