Hey all,
My husband and I went out of town this weekend and my mom kept my dogs. She called me and told me that she was rubbing Dixie's belly and noticed a "lump" about the size of the pad of your thumb. She said that it looked like it was under the skin, however, there was some blood around that area. When I picked the dogs up today, I noticed another lump (a little smaller and no blood) on her side (more on her back, than her belly). The one on her belly, I wouldn't say it was on her belly, more on her undercarriage around her rib area. It doesn't seem to be tender or anything when I touch it.
Trying to figure out what it could be? Any suggestions or guesses? Dixie is 6 months old, up to date on all shots. Do you think it could be worms or something?
Thanks!
Melanie
