my meea has scabs on her back and a lump under her jaw.

as the title says meea has a lump under her jaw and black scabs on her back from the front to the tail all along her hairline on her back. i took her to the vet and he said it was like blackheads and that the lump was like an inflamed blackhead. i don't have much trust in my local vet he doesn't have a very good reputation. i will post some pictures if someone can give me an idea. it's not a tick as i am sure the vet would at least seen that. the scabs on the back look to me like really dry skin so if anyone has any suggestions about topical solutions. we feed her a mixture of dry food and raw food. i am most worried about the lump.... when i touch it and move it it doesn't seem to cause her any pain. she is about 4 years old.

i recommend going to a dermatologist they will know right away what it is

[meea]

no its not a rash on her back it is more like severally dry skin with dandruff, but also little black scabs what the vet says were like blackheads

I would see a Dermatologist asap - unresolved skin issues can get very out of hand. Those "blackheads" or scabs could actually be the start of pyoderma or other things.

The lump should be addressed asap too - are they going to aspirate it or ?

First i'd take her to another vet and have that lump aspirated. They need to stick a needle in it to get some cells out. Then the vet will look at them under the microscope to determine what kind of lump it is. That is a decent sized lump under her chin and i would have that taken care of right away and it will probably need to be removed.

As for the skin, ask the new vet about that too. it could just be dry skin or it could be an infection.
