Guest tammara Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 So Bear has always had this raised dark spot which looks like a nipple but is in the wrong spot... we watch it to make sure it doesn't grow. Tonight it has a very dark red circle around it. What is this? And of course I am worrying... He has a vet appointment for some shots Thursday morning and we will have them look at this first thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4baddogs Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I don't know - on a person, it would look like a melanoma. Do dogs get those? I hope not! I'll be interested to see what the vet says. Keeping good thoughts for Bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rycezmom Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It needs to go. Ask the vet do an excisional biopsy with real wide margins. L.

Guest jettcricket Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 My boy, Jett, had something very similiar and I asked my vet to remove it. Turned out to be nothing! Just a funky non-benign skin growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Yes, it DOES look like a melanoma on a person. I have seen many as a parmedic. You might want to get the vet to talk a look. Good luck! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tammara Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) DH took Bear to the vet yesterday. He said it was nothing to worry about, just a raised mole that had probably gotten knocked and bled a little bit.

2NOFLEAS Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Cofax gets small blood blister type scabs.....I test them first to be sure it's what I think it is (not a tick or something else) then I pinch them to drain and put med.on and it's fine. Vet said it's just something that happens - either a little pimple gets dirty and small infection or it might happen when they scratch or rub on something. She said as long as they're not big or infected for long - home care is fine.
