What is this red bump on my dog's paw that turns white when pressed?

Hi there. This looks like a histiocytoma. If it is, it should regress (go away on it's own) within a month or two. I would not be overly worried about this right now. Here is a link to an article about this issue: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1676 If it does not go away within a month or so then you should take her to your vet for an exam. There is nothing you can do about it right now. If you want to put a boot on her to protect it when she is outside playing you can do that. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

This appears like a wart, or possibility a sebaceous adenoma. I would have to examine it closer to be sure though. These are benign masses that usually go away on their own. It's best to have your vet examine it to be sure. For more information about the suspected type of mass, I reccomend you read the article at the link below. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/papillomas-of-the-skin I hope that helps and all is well with June.

I am sorry to hear about Bubba! A photo of the paw may help us to better answer your question! One possible cause would be a histiocytoma https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952066 . I would recommend having your vet examine the area to determine if it is something requiring treatment or something that can just be monitored.

Unfortunately it is impossible to tell what is going on with Hershey by the picture alone. Given her young age, I would suspect she may have a histiocytoma, which is a benign inflammatory tumor that generally goes away within a month. However, the only way to know what is going on is to take her in to your vet for an exam. She likely needs to have a fine needle aspirate done of the lump. This is when we take a small needle and try to exfoliate some cells from the area to look at them under the microscope to determine what it is. She also could have an allergic reaction, from an insect bite, or possibly even a tumor that is of concern and needs to be removed. I would recommend you take her into have the area examined to determine if she needs to have further treatment or not.

If it doesn't seem to bother Peanut, this could be a skin lesion called a histiocytoma (a benign, non-cancerous skin mass). Another possibilty if a reactive insect bite (if it becomes bothersome or gets worse). It is best to have your vet look at it and get samples from it to properly identify this skin lesion. If it is considered to be a histiocytoma (which is very likely), then these usually resolve on their own within 2-4 weeks (self limiting). Only a few require moderate wound management or surgical removal. Best wishes moving forward with Peanuts skin. Take care.

I can see the small, raised, slightly red hairless lump on Hazel's paw in the photo. This may be a bug bite, localized skin infection, or a mass (which is less likely in younger dogs). I recommend having the area examined by a vet to determine the underlying cause and begin the appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can get Hazel an E-collar or "cone" to prevent her licking the area and causing further trauma and irritation.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Max. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian for a procedure known as a fine needle aspirate. The veterinarian will collect a sample of cells and evaluate them under the microscope to diagnose the mass. A histiocytoma is a common benign growth on the extremities of young dogs. Unfortunately, a mast cell tumor is an aggressive cancerous growth that has the same outward appearance. This is why the cells need to be examined. I hope this information helps!
