My dog has a blister or injury on her lower lip. What is it?

It looks like Heaven has suffered from some sort of abrasion on his lower lip. If this is the only area affected then I would not be too concerned. He likely just scraped the muzzle somehow. Typically I would recommend a topical antibiotic ointment but, because of the location, he will probably just lick it off. I would recommend keeping an eye on it for now and if it progresses then have it checked out by your vet.

I am sorry to hear about Oscar. A photo of this area will help us better provide an answer on how to deal with Oscar's issue. If the blister is small and Oscar is acting normally you can try washing the area with a mild soap and applying a topical antibiotic ointment several times a day. If the area is not imroving in a few days or if more lesions arise or the lesion worsens, then a trip to the vet is recommended.

Hello, sorry to hear about Jackie. It looks like he has some lip pyoderma. It would be ideal to put neosporin on it, however, dogs tend to lick this medication and ingestion of it could cause side effects. You could clean the area with skin sensitive baby wipes. If the area does not resolve within 3-5 days, then she may need to have oral antibiotics. Occasionally, this can occur secondary to allergies. Monitor the area for worsening, if you note any, then contact your veterinarian to have him evaluated. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could have been due to a traumatic injury while playing. I think though that it would be a good idea to have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. The main reason is making sure that there is no other traumatic injury present that needs to be addressed. Otherwise, at least on the picture it looks fairly superficial so you can plan on applying a thin film of triple antibiotic twice daily until you see your veterinarian. Good luck!

That lesion looks very inflamed. It’s possible it’s a reaction to something he chewed on but an infection is also possible. I recommend to have him examined by his veterinarian to rule out something more severe like a tooth root abscess. He may also get medication to help heal the lesion. Best of luck.

It could be skin fold dermatitis, either bacterial or fungal. Until he gets to see the vet, you can try wiping it with a little hydrogen peroxide every day. You can also apply a little Neosporin, but he will probably lick it right off again.

Is there anything she could have chewed on to cause that inflammation in the corners, mainly electrical cords? It seems very raw and blistered but does not appear infected by that picture. All you can do is clean the area with soap and water as any other topicals will just get ingested. If it is not better in a day or so take her to your vet for an exam to see why it is not clearing
