516285 tn?1211547390 Yes, there can be swelling after a bite. IMHO, taking him to the vet about the swelling was a good thing. You have done everything you can for your dog and I'm sure he knows it. He is a young dog but being bitten must have been traumatic for him and you. Was he attacked by another dog or were they playing? Either way, the history of the biter is something you might want to find out about.
Avatar n tn This lump may just be scar tissue, as a result of the tick bite. The lump could also be due to a vaccine reaction and although somewhat rare, vaccine sarcomas do occur in dogs. Because your dog seems to be feeling fine and the lump is not bothering him, I would not worry but checking with your vet is always wise.
Avatar n tn My moms dog has a big huge bump under her jaw and we can't seem to find out what it is. She doesn't eat as much and she isn't so playful we are worried if it might be cancer or a spider bite we do not know what to do.
Avatar f tn Sorry your dog got injured. Bite wounds/puncture wounds can be deceiving. A dog's mouth is full of bacteria so the chance of infection is pretty high. Even though it may seem small on the surface, bacteria was surely introduced to the soft tissue. You can continue to wash it and keep it clean and use the antibiotic ointment but that is only getting the surface. I would discontinue the use of the Hydrogen Peroxide that often as it might make it worse.

Avatar n tn Hello and welcome to the Dogs Community! :-) I can't imagine any dog of that age that should have any kind of a hard lump on it's abdomen. If he were my dog, I would be concerned enough to ask my vet about it. Did the lump come up very suddenly? It may only be an insect bite and nothing to worry about. By the way, allergic reactions to such bites can be treated with benadryl (diphenhydramine ONLY - no decongestent included) at the rate of 1 mg per pound of the dog's weight.
Avatar f tn My dog has a sudden lump in her throat area. She isnt eating normal but did eat a few bites. Is drinking.
Avatar m tn s a really helpful article that may help you narrow this down. From your description, this lump seems under the skin but erupting to a bump (bug bite in appearance). https://www.healthline.com/health/hard-lump-under-skin#dermatofibroma To me, this sounds possibly like a lipoma. These are not cancer. If you feel this is skin cancer, again, please see a dermatologist at once. https://www.medicinenet.com/skin_cancer_overview/article.
Avatar f tn Yesterday my feet started to be itchy and it grew some lumps but nothing major. Tonight same thing happened but on my elbow this time. However it's a massive red lump, and I'm wondering whether it could be a simple mosquito, or it has to be something else, like a flee bite maybe (I have a dog at home)? https://s22.postimg.org/agzb75uqp/IMG_1269.jpg https://s22.postimg.org/j0ip4x335/IMG_1270.jpg https://s22.postimg.org/v3o0she5d/IMG_1271.
Avatar n tn If its an abcess, it won't go away on its own, he'll need antibiotics. My fathers dog had a baseball size lump on his rib cage which didn't ooze, but turned out to be cancer,so please don't delay in taking him to the vet. He's got to be hurting if he's trying to bite it open.
Avatar f tn I was bit by a dog 14 days ago and the area seems to be healing but i noticed a hard lump in the middle of the bruise and the bruise itself is hot to the touch. The bruise originated back of my arm above the elbow at the bite site, has spread down past my elbow and has almost wrapped completely around my arm, i feel small spasms every now and then in my fingers and if i bend my arm i get pinching pains in the elbow and shoulder, could this be something serious?
Avatar m tn My 16yr old Schiperkke was backed over by a neighbor on a cell phone. Dog went to vet and x-rays revealed nothing broken,"Her fat may have saved her life". While that is very funny, after a long recovery, she still has a mass where the tire pinched her butt to the ground.She gets along OK but now has poop sticking to her fur,as her tail is no longer inside her tail flap,(Skips don't have tails).So I deal with that. But a year later?, the flappy large area is still there. The Vet.
Avatar f tn My guess is that since he did not seek medical assistance for more than three weeks after the bite, that the infection could be relatively severe. Therefore, it may take a while for it to clear up - and may even require more than one round o fantibiotics. Since he just received the antibiotics yesterday, they most definitely have not had a chance to do their job in clearing up the infection. Is he running any fever? Is the bite area warm, red or swollen?

Avatar n tn My dog shelby a part of her nipples is swollen,hot and hurting but she has not have puppies
Avatar n tn How long has the lump been noticeable? If it came up recently and very quickly, it may be nothing more than an insect bite. Spider bites are notorious for causing some pretty spectacular swellings in both humans and animals. When you feel the lump, does it move freely under the skin, or does it seem to be attached to deeper tissues?
