| Cut on Priscilla's shoulder! Does this look like anything that I should worry about? I did shave a little around it so I could get a better look at it. Should I be concerned? The little red splotches around it were not there before I shaved it, so I think her skin was just irritated due to the shaving. Should I be worried? |

| Ouch, it looks like she scratched herself.. Do you have any neopolydex or you can put some neosporin on it. Watch it for a couple days, it should clear up. I woke up this morning and found a bump on Peanut's ear... isn't it always something??

| I agree, it looks like a scratch. A little neosporin should take care of the little booboo. BUT if it starts looking red and irritated, I'd definitely call the vet. |

| Ahh that could be the culprit!! I always try to walk Peanut right after he gets his nails cut. They are usually so sharp. You can also take a file and try to dull them down.. Peanut will not let me do this so I will just walk him or let him run in the backyard!

| Yes, looks like a scratch and nothing to worry about It should heal up in in a day or three no problem but if it DOES start looking red or angry a quick check by the vet will nip any problem in the bud (((HUGS))) |

| Just keep an eye on it. It should heal up, but if it doesn't... definitely talk to your vet.
