abscess on puppy

im so glad you posted this I think this is what is going on with my black lab puppy. when we went to bed there was nothing.. now there is an egg shaped movable mass on the rt back side of his neck, hes eating and playing just fine but what a bummer!

Is it on top of the skin or under the skin? Is it hard or soft? It could be some infection, a bite, an abscess or even Puppy Strangles,which can be fatal. If you are concerned, the best thing you can do is have your Vet check it. That way, you will definitely know what it is and if it needs treatment.

My 10 month old puppy has a bad odor an itches his butt none stop can someone please help...

Someone gave my puppy a 9 way shot in the muscle not the skin as it should have been. Will she be alright she is swollen in that area and tender.

I have a puppy that is 7 months old and im not sure what it is! it feels like a smooth oval lump under his left ear. if anybody knows what this is please tell me.

We just adopted a 13 week old puppy through a rescue group, he was already neutered at a very young age of 10 weeks, and we are concerned that he may have complications from his neutering. A week ago we noticed a small purple bump on the incision site that didn't seem to really bother him, but now a week later it has trippled in size and is dark purple. It was bleeding and pussing the other night, so I cleaned it with warm water and a paper towel.

The blood could come from something easily treated like an anal fissue/ abscess, or something as serious as cancer. Blood in the stool really needs to be evaluated by a vet because no matter what the cause, it isn't something you can cure by yourself. Is the blood noticeably bright red, and how much blood are you noticing?

When I first found him he had an abscess on his neck, when the vet pulled of the scab a very large amount of pus came out. The abscess started healing, but another one formed close to the first, which the vet drained. Another one formed on his upper neck, and we drained this one as well, and the vet decided to put him on mild antibiotics. All of the abscesses have healed completely (about 8 days ago).

I have a 3-4 week old puppy that has swelling on her neck and left side of jaw it is hard around the swelling area.she is breathing ok,nursing well and she cries when i touch it...i wanted to know if any one has any ideas to help the swelling go down.if you May know what this could be pls be free to comment...i do not have enough money for the vet right now but im working on it .....i am hoping it's just an ant bite or something but I'm wondering why is it so big..the skin is tight....

Have you noticed bad breath? Your dog could have an abscess. Since this has been going on for 3 days I would take him to the vet. If you haven't changed his food and you know of nothing he could have ate, I really would take him to your vet as this is unusal behavior.

Pus coming out of a swelling sounds very much like an abscess. The safest thing to do would be to take your puppy to the vet to have this drained and cleaned. He may need antibiotics too. It's pretty straightforward. I took my dog to have an abscess drained once. All was well.

Judging by your description, it is most likely a fistula which is a tract that forms from the abscess of your infected tooth that escapes out to the gums. As long as the fistula in intact, your abscess can drain and slow down the spread of the abscess but if the fistula closes up, the abscess can spread rapidly through your face or neck area. I would recommend seeing a dentist and getting treatment started.

Our vet diagnosed it a week ago in our now 12 week old English Springer Spaniel puppy. She had surgery for an umbilical hernia. A week later she had a huge abscess on the back of her neck (possibly from vaccination) which he had to remove (14 stitches down back of neck). She then started to ulcerate round her eyes, then ears and mouth. Her eyes seem to be clearing up but no eyelashes left and one ear and side of mouth are looking better but far from good.

I have a 7 month old Rat Terrier puppy and he's been sick since I got him. First he was diagnosed with lymes disease and put on antibiotics, he finally got back to his happy playful self after about 3 weeks. About a month after that I noticed he wasn't playing, eating or barking...again. I though for sure it was the lymes acting up and so we put him back on the meds, but then I realized he was still moving ok and wasn't crying whenever I picked him up.

Do any of your teeth hurt? Sounds like you have an infection or abscess. If an abscess in the teeth goes unattended the infection will spread into the jaw and cause a lump. You need to get checked out ASAP!! If left untreated, the infection will spread into your blood stream.

3 days ago I competed in a bicycle race (not sure if this is connected to my situation) and a few hours after the event I noticed a small lump on my buttocks quite close to my anus. It was soar to the touch but otherwise no bother. The next morning when I woke up it doubled in sized. By the afternoon it grew to about 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide. It is firm to the touch and seems to be located a little bit under my skin but not so deep that I can not feel it well.

ve picked up cycling about 40-50 miles per week along with strenuous training and noticed a solo abscess on my labia after a cycle session where I had tight fitting underwear. I popped the abscess and some white fluid came out, and it's still raised but steadily getting smaller with neosporin application. I have never had sex and the last time oral happened was late 2013.

I have a bum on my gum on the left side of my face behind the last tooth. Some people are saying it might be a caker sore or an abscess. The bump became bigger and I noticed a white substance inside of the bump. It grew bigger than with the help of hot water and salt it began to drain. First question what is this on my gum? How long does it take to heal? and Should I go to the dentist after it fully heals?

My child has an abscess on her left lower ear area, I kept on asking her if she ever feel any pain on that area but she said never and she's not even affected by it. But I am worried cause I always touched it and even massaged it with VCO. Please help, let me know what will it cause to her health....

I have been having problems with a cyst or abscess that was what I am going to call dormant for a long time. I had it checked by a dermatologist he said since it was in the muscle part of my back he would not recommend to have it cut out...Now its inflamed went to a clinic they said to just heat compress it then wet to my PCP who game me SULFA and some pain killers told me also to heat compress it...now it is no longer HOT it was a HOT spot but now it looks PURPLE.

I have a puppy that broke her jaw on the left side my vet quoted me at 500.00-1000.00 I was denied for care credit and I do not have ccrd. I have no family that can help is there any assistance programs that may be able to help. I am the only one working and I only make 400.00 every two weeks.

It is also possible it could be an abscess caused perhaps by some cut or puncture wound. Can you see anything on her skin under the fur? If she is fighting something like that she will not feel 100% My feeling is that you should take her for the vet to look at her, to be on the safe side. Especially as it does seem to be affecting her breathing.

they did a ct and found out that it was an abscess. it was 1 inch by 3/8 inch big. they gave me iv rocephin and drained the abscess. they put me on 250mg of keflex 4 x a day and 300mg of clindamycin 4 x a day for the next 10 days. talked to my dentist this morning and have a follow up appt. with him on weds. then if all goes well i will hopefully get the tooth that is causing all of this pulled next week.

As rightly mentioned this seems to be a recurring abscess. Generally a dead tooth nerve gets infected and forms an abscess. Please contact your dentist immediately.

many, many years ago (at least 10), i found a small, somewhat hard lump on the lower right side of my labia majora. until very recently, it has never bothered me in any way. however, just a couple of days ago, it has started to be quite painful and it appears to have grown a little in size and darkened. please tell me what this is.

Ironically, I went to the dentist on Monday but I felt the sore come on before then as I felt pressure against the sore spot before it happened. What would cause pus to drain out? Thank you for your time.

The other possibilities are a cyst (usually grows big or small depending on the fluid in it), a neurofibroma (localized harmless swelling in a nerve), lipoma (localized collection of fat), a swollen lymph node, an abscess, or folliculitis (hair follicle infection). An abscess can be hot or warm if it is infective due to bacteria and it can be cold without heat if it is a tubercular abscess.
