Guest got2now Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Our new greygirl has these weird bumps on one bald thigh. I have been using 2% salacytic acid once a day for one month, but it doesn't help. They have a hard center and not much comes out if you pop them Any idea whatthese are and how to get rid of them? Thanks. Edited November 18, 2012 by got2now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mychip1 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Can't see pics....but a lot of hounds come from the track with clogged pours...Our EZ gets (even all these years later), little sebacious cysts..... It may be that's the side she would lie on....

Guest greysmitten Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Sound like it could be a keratin buildup. My human children have this. Look up pilaris keratosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mychip1 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 There really are a lot of them! Do they bother her at all, i.e. itchy?

Guest greysmitten Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hm, these look different. Much less uniform. Must try a glyclic or uric acid compound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Might want to try warm water compresses--pyoban shampoo may help too (benzoyl peroxide based). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mld Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ingrown hair from the hair growing back??? Warts ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuca Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Has she been to the vet? If not, I would bring her in for a visit. Not only for that, but I like to bring my new guys in for a well visit to have a good experience say the very and to start to get to know the vet and vice versa.

BellaBean Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My current foster had severe flea dermatitis when we first got him (about 3 months ago) and he was completely bald in that area. After the dermatitis cleared up he got the same bumps in that same area. I washed them with an antibacterial soap about 3x's a week and it is starting to clear up and the hair is growing back somewhat...I think he's going to be a bald butt .... Maybe she has some sort of irritation for the kennel.

JAJ2010 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I would ask the vet if it's been over a month. No clue what it could be but it bothers me just looking at the pic! Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest got2now Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I did take her to the vet, but she didn't know what they were either. I've tried warm compresses too. Do dogs get warts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mld Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yes, they can get warts! Do other dogs lick her or does she lick that area often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest got2now Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 no she doesn't bother them. It seems like the salacytic acid would have worked on warts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2dogs4cats Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 no she doesn't bother them. It seems like the salacytic acid would have worked on warts. a 2% solution wouldn't be strong enough to get rid of warts.

seeh2o Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I have no idea what it is, but Carl developed some weird and ugly bumps on nose, ear, leg. Homeopathic vet gave us Thuja pellets, 2 pellets every other day. It took a few months, but they cleared up. I keep him on 2 pellets 2x a week to keep them away. You can find Thuja pellets (little white balls) in a health store like Whole Foods or Sprouts. It's cheap, too. Just put the two pellets in between the dog's cheek and gum so it dissolves in her mouth. Don't mix in with food. Here's a link to exactly what I use on Amazon.

cometdust1 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I've been wanting to know what they are too! My grey that I adopted in March has the same thing all over both his thighs and he's almost completely bald on his back legs, all the way down,Definitely NOT one of the prettiest greyhounds I've owned, but I love him anyway. Oh, and his skin color is almost black,in fact, it does turn black if he's out in the sun for any length of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest got2now Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 It's curious that they only occur on one side. Her other thigh is bald too but there's not one little bump on that side. She doesn't seem to favor that side either when she's lying down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opals_mom Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My girl had those when I first adopted her but they were only on her stomach. In our case, they look almost identical, and they are just black heads. When she's super relaxed I roll her over and squeeze them out till she's had enough. Her whole tummy was bald before and COVERED in blackheads but in six years I've gotten it down quite a bit. Quote Missing my bridge greys Opal and Eden and cat Bailey.
