My pet has a concerning symptom. What could this be before the vet?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Without pictures it is difficult to guide you in the right direction and to determine what the primary problem is. If you are able to provide a better description of what the appearance of the skin is and / or provide pictures, that would greatly help us to guide you in the right direction. Thank you!

I am sorry to hear about your concern for Squirt, but I don't think we have been provided with enough information about her to answer your question. Is she having symptoms that are concerning/out of the ordinary for her? If so, you can post the symptoms on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and it may help us give an answer regarding her health.

Hello. Well, it looks like your pup is having a good back rub? Is any of this behavior concerning you? Are you seeing any lesions, or is the puppy acting out in any distress? If you could supply additional information, perhaps we can be a little more specific. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is difficult to know exactly what is going on just based on a description and this will ultimately require an examination. This can be an infection for example. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to see what seems to be the issue and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a wonderful day!

Hi, I'm not sure if there was suppose to be a photo attached. Skin lumps can be many things and visual identification is not always accurate. Please feel free to repost with a picture of the lump. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
