Why does my dog have a smelly lump or growth near his rear end?

This lump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Charlie to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.

I see what you mean about the red lump on Charlie's neck. It could be a cyst, a benign growth, or potentially a malignant growth if he's an older dog. 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. Give his vet a call in the morning to make him an appointment. Best of luck.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your Shih Tzu. Based on your description, he may have an anal gland abscess. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. If an infection is present, he may need surgery to treat the wound. He would also be sent home with medications such as antibiotics and pain medications. In the meantime, place an E-collar on him to prevent any licking of the area. I hope this information helps!

Unfortunately, I can't tell from the photo what is happening exactly. It sounds like Charlie needs to be examined by the veterinarian and I recommend to have that done today. Anal glands should never protrude. Abscesses and cancers are both possible if the gland looks like it is protruding. Both of these need to be addressed by the veterinarian. You may need to have someone take him to the vet for you or see a local veterinarian. Charlie should also wear an elizabethan collar at all times to prevent him from licking and traumatizing the area. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Charlie. I recomend she sees her veterinarian. The lesion could be an infection or a a mass that has developed. Depending on her exam findings, the veterinarian may perform a procedure known as a fine needle aspirate. A small needle is used to collect a sample of cells and evaluate them under the microscope to diagnose the lesion. This will help to guide treatment. In the meantime, you can try bathing her with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. I hope this information helps!

I am sorry to hear about your concern for Charlie! I would recommend a visit to the vet for an examination. This mass is ulcerated, which is more concerning than a subcutaneous mass. When we have a mass in this area I am also concerned it could actually be a sign of an infected tooth root which sometimes abscess to the skin in this area. Your vet can look the area over. If a tooth is suspected as the cause they may recommend an x-ray. Otherwise they may recommend cytology of the mass to determine the best treatment.
