Puppy's healed dog bite scar has a pink lump. Is it a concern?

What you are describing sounds like scar tissue, but I would have to see it to be sure. Scars will not grow hair, but tend to get smaller and less visible with time. Puppies will heal better than adult dogs, so the scar should be much less obvious within a couple of months. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to encourage hair growth in this area if it is a scar. It's also possible that the lump is due to a deep infection. If the lump grows, appears red, or starts to ooze fluid, then it's best to take her to the vet for an exam. I hope that helps and all is well with your pup.

It looks like a small pustule. He may need an antibiotic to treat so you should call your vet and have him rechecked. If the suture underneath is poking through then your vet might be able to trim the suture so it doesn't bother him. It should eventually be absorbed. The incision appears to have healed well.

Hi, would you mind to post a picture ? This would help understand if the raised area is just a scab and part of normal healing process or rather an infection getting worse (small abscess developing ). Hope this helps,

It looks like it was healing under the scab, however I am a little concerned about the area on the leg where this lesion is. THis is very close to the knee joint, which may mean that your dog had pain in this area and therefore was gnawing on it. I recommend you have this examined by your veterinarian a there may be a problem with his knee joint.

If they are hard swellings I would worry about cellulitis or scar tissue. If she is eating and acting well and they are not painful, I would not worry as it will go away with time. If it is painful and the appetite is decreasing then I would get it rechecked

Keep an eye on it. It could be local irritation or infection. If it doesn't resolve on its own or if spreads, have Cali examined by your veterinarian. Some antibiotics and/or anti-inflammatory medications may clear it up. If you have plastic food/water bowls, consider switching to ceramic or stainless steel ones to prevent allergic reactions.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. From the pictures, I suspect that what you are seeing is a insect bite or pustule. I would recommend monitoring it for now and if it worsens, becomes much larger or does not go away, I would recommend having the veterinarian recheck Maisy so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. You can apply a spray such as Malacetic conditioning spray to the area, which can be found online and do this twice daily until it resolves. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
