Yorkie Yakker | should I worry? I found a little, pimple like, bump on my boy last week. I thought it would go away, but when I checked him again it got more big and red with some blood on the side. I don't know if I should disinfected and put some animal cream on it..., or wash him with my other dogs' allergy shampoo, or if it's seriouse enough to take him to the vet. What do you all think I should do?

| Where is the bump located on his body? Back, chest, ear... Actually, if it's getting bigger and redder, he may need to be on antibiotics... best to have a vet look at it.

Yorkie Yakker | It's on the back of his neck. I freaked out, because I was searching online(trying to figure out what it could be), so I did take him to the vet. The vet took a look at it and said that it looks like a Histiocytoma which is basically a benign tumor. He then shaved that part of his fur so that he could put cream on it. I found that unessissary. I could easyly put cream on him without having to shave him. I guess the vet felt like shaving something oh well it's done and over with now. His fur will grow back, and all that really matters now is that he's ok! well hopefully. I just need to keep an eye on it to make sure that it doesn't get bigger, and take him back to the vet in two weeks...
