Many years ago I purchased a puppy from a breeder in Texas. A week or so after she got home I felt a lump in her armpit area. Upon visual inspection I saw it was a lump with a rather large hole in the middle with something white inside. I rushed her off to my vet who diagnosed it as a cyst, irrigated it and sent us on our way. Next day or so I actually saw a big worm-like thing crawl out of the hole. It looked like and oversized maggot. I put the worm in a baggie and ran off to the vet again. He seemed a bit embarrassed, kept Matilda for surgery to open and clean out the wound. I think he said it was bot fly larva she had to have picked up in Texas since it isn't something we see in New England. Her breeder wasn't intersted in hearing about it.
There's no end to the things that come up with these dogs.
I hope Deuce's problem is an easy fix. The photo looks like the bot fly thing my girl had.
