My dog has a strange lump on his nose after playing. Should I worry?

I see what you mean. Keep an eye on it over the weekend, and if it's still there on Monday, have Logan seen by a vet. If it gets bigger, he starts bleeding from his nose, or he has trouble breathing have him seen by an ER vet.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Olivia. I'd just keep an eye on it for now. If it gets bigger, starts to bother her, turns red, or appears infected, then I would have her seen by a vet. Best of luck.

You are right, it could be an insect bite. If it's daytime where you are, I would take Shiloh into a vet now. If it's nighttime, you can wait until the morning, but rush him into an ER vet if his face starts swelling more, he gets hives, or have trouble breathing. I hope this helps!

Good morning. The bump on Toby's nose could be due to a number of things including an insect bite, inflammation, infection or less likely, a tumor. If the bump is not resolving within a few days, if it enlarges or if Toby develops any new symptoms such as nasal discharge, sneezing or lethargy, he should be seen by a veterinarian.

It looks like this lump could simply be a benign tumor, but that's impossible to say without seeing the dog in person. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. I'd give your dog's vet a call to set up an appointment for sometime this week. I hope this helps!

Ouch, poor Dahlilah! It could be that she injured herself while you are gone, causing this big bump and other little bumps that look like they may have bled. It could also be an allergic reaction. I would try placing a cold compress on the large bump to see if that helps with the swelling, and keep an eye on her for now. If this swelling increases, other bumps appear, her muzzle start becoming swollen, and/or she has difficulty breathing, I would take her into an ER vet right away. If there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Otherwise, have her seen by a vet on Monday if the bump is still present but hasn't gotten bigger or smaller. I hope this helps!

Yes, it looks like it is most likely trauma related to pushing the blanket thought the holes in the crate. You can certainly ice the bump for about 10 minutes 2-3 times per day and it will likely resolve on it's own. As always, if you are worried, there is no harm in taking him in to your vet for a check-up. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
