Maybe a bite??? hi guys. I was playing with Emmett and I noticed that under his right front armpit he has a small bump. It is red, and kind of hard. It looks like there might be some white on the inside??? It sort of looks like a pimple, or some sort of bite. I don't think it is a tick, there is no black on it at all. Does anyone know what this might be? |
Not sure what it could be. Does it bother him when you touch it or is he trying to lick or scratch it? Hopefully someone will post that has some ideas. |
It doesn't seem to hurt when I touch it... and he isnt acting strange. I don't know what it could be. Should I put something on it? |
It could be an insect bite. We are going through this right now with Baxter. He started with small bumps under his arms and chest area. They developed scabs and then pus. The vet gave him a sterioid shot, some spray and anti-biotics. The vet thinks a bug bite caused a staph infection when he scratched it. I would just keep an eye on your baby. Hopefully it will go away in a few days and that will be the end of it. If you see more bumps or if they look infected, I would take him in to the vet. |
Your poor babies. I hope they feel better soon. Luckily, the bite is right inside Emmett's armpit so he can't scratch it... and it seems to be shrinking a little bit every day. I guess it was just a bite, but I'm still keeping my eyes on it. Thank you everyone. |
