Dawn - Marcel gets multiple bumps too. We had one biopsied and were told they're little follicular cysts. Very rarely, they'll come to little crusted head and we can pull the head out and they sometimes will go away. Most often though, they just keep growing (and never crust over) and eventually we have to have them taken off...these little bumps are such a pain bc when dogs start getting them, they then get them the rest of their lives. |
Yea, two of the pups got one or two and than they just multiplies. Too many if you ask me and they continue to grow. Than Miah started to get them too. I have notices a few bumps that had crusted over. I wasn't sure is it was the same thing of something different that I needed to worry about. I have not found any on Ruby I wonder if it has anything to do with her being a cotton coat ?
Vet says not much you can do about them ether.

As Ann indicated, some bumps need to be checked out and removed. |
Thanks, I'll see if I can find some around here or order it off line.

No, dogs don't have pores like we do. That is why they need to pant when they get overheated to release the heat from their bodies. Unlike humans who do so through our pores.
Hmm than how do they get clogged pores which than creates these nasty bumps?
Very confusing . . .
