| Pimple?? Hi Everyone. My little Sunny, 3 years old, has a small pimple on her back. I was petting her and felt it. It looks like a "whitehead." It is not bothering her at all when I touch it, but of course I am freaking out that my baby is sick. Has anyone else ever seen such a thing? |

| I've not personally found that on my dog. But like said above, it can be some type of parasite. Remember that many certain areas require the use of heartworm medication on your furbabies. Good luck and hopefully someone will provide more insight on this

| My Presley has gotten these from time to time. Usually the vet expresses them for me and they go away. They are filled with pus, just like a pimple on our face. My vet said it was nothing to worry about. So far...so good. |
