It could have been a bruise.
It is gone now, so I can't get a second opinion.
It could have been an injury.
It also could have been a rash.
None of this was CLEAR, as suggested elsewhere, however.
The vet checked to make sure his limbs moved okay and that he didn't appear to be ill or feverish. He pressed on the spot and was visibly surprised that my dog didn't care one bit. He didn't really look through his hair (it was kind of hard to see when he was dry because his hair is kind of long right now) he didn't investigate the way I had.
The vet also told me to expect it to take a while to clear up, and to see it DARKEN up and change color and get really ugly like bruises do. Clearly (our fav word around here) that didn't happen so that raises my concerns as a responsible parent that perhaps it was something else. I wasn't convinced to be honest when we left the vet, but I figured he knows because he sees dogs, so he can quickly glance and say its this and so thats why I returned with the update that the vet said bruise. He really quickly glanced. I mean, I WAS THERE. lol. We didn't see our usual vet who I like very much and would have actually spent more than 4 minutes in our room, and not 3 of them trying to sell me extra products and services we didn't come for.
Why am I arguing? lol
I came here for opinions on other yorkie mamas and papas who may have seen rashes and bruises before, but instead I get attacked by one person who isn't here in person but knows all there is to know and ignores very important context. Strange. |
You got what you came for but you didn't want it. You had a warning and if you love your pup, you will not leave him alone with those children again. It is as simple as that...it is not saying anything bad about them. It is just a fact....he needs to not be alone with them for his own good. Next time might not be such a good outcome.
