What's this bluish-grey bump under my bulldog's skin near her vulva?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. This can also be the site of an infection that just was not responsive to the amoxicillin. There is no way of knowing what it is just based on its appearance. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These could be benign or malignant growths. There is no way of knowing for sure without an examination though this represents a reason to seek veterinary care. This is usually determined with an examination and a fine needle aspirate (FNA) or a biopsy. Treatment depends on the findings up to that point. I recommend you have your pup evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Lilo. That could be a cyst, an infected area, or a growth. She's doing these behaviors because it's bothering her. I'd have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning to get this diagnosed and treated. Best of luck.

Based on the location, often times these tumors are benign in nature and are known as perianal adenomas though about 10% are malignant and again it could be really any other tumor type.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could potentially be an abscess. I would highly recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. This is usually treated with local therapy with drainage, flushing and and debridement as well as systemic antibiotics. Good luck and have a good day!
