| I have an appointment with the vet tomorrow. He needs a few shots and a good ol' teeth brushing, so I moved it up so I can get this looked at.

| i know this is an old post; however my dog has something similar on her left thigh (back leg); i took her to the vet yesterday and they saw her really quick; they said it's not tick bite but some kind of bug or insect bite; so they told me to give her benadryl; i dont think it hurts because when i press down she doesnt seem to be in pain; it's not itching because i dont see her biting or itching it ; if it was mosquito bite she will itch it; i am concerned because it's red and it's raised like there is something under the surface. does anyone have any insight? thanks

| Sorry I never updated. The vet said it was just a bug bite. Weirdest bug bite I ever saw though. He's had them since and I've never seen one look like that one.

http://www.lyme.org/gallery/rashes.html I don't know how the testing for Lymes is now, but when I lived in NJ, they would put people on antibiotics immediately rather than wait for the results of a test. At that time it took a long time to get the results back and it was better to start treatment. Antibiotics early is key! IF this is a possible tick bite, I would speak with the vet about antibiotics.

| how does a ticke bite look on a dog; my dog still have a red bump and it doesnt seem to subside at all; i dont think it itches because she's not scratching at it. but now it's red with a little brown tint in the middle. i dont know if i should take her to the vet again. i took her to the vet on friday and they told me to just give her benadryl. i am not giving the benadryl since it's not itchy, but i thought the redness should go by now; but it's still there

I just googled this and find that sometimes dogs do get a bulls eye rash, but it is less commonly seen in them. People don't always get a rash either, but it is more common in people. I know that I would want my dog tested if I had any concerns just to be on the safe side, since once you have symptoms, there are often many problems. Better safe than sorry.

| If you took her to the vet and they thought it was a simple bite, I would not worry too much. Sometimes it takes a while for the bump from an insect bite to go away.

| Okay, now you are scaring me!! What do I do now?? It has been a long time since that bite. I just looked up the signs for Lyme disease in dogs and Chester doesn't seem to fit the profile...

I am quite sure he is just fine! It has been a long time and your vet checked it out! The rest of this thread has just kind of turned into an FYI kind of thing.
