Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Lucy. That doesn't look like mites, but it could be a skin infection. Given that it's growing, I'd have her seen by a vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing it, and can treat it. I hope this helps.
Read MoreThere is no specific risk a part from possible (but unlikely) infection. A course of antibiotic would be beneficial anyway to decrease oral bacterial contamination. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
Read MoreThanks for using Boop by Petco! This will likely heal on its own if you are able to keep her from licking at it. You can try using an e-collar to prevent further self trauma. Good luck and have a good night!
Read MoreRinse Sam's eye with cool water as well. Monitor it for redness, swelling, discharge, or pain. He would show pain by keeping his eye closed as much as possible and/or rubbing at his eye. If you see any of those signs, have him seen by a vet. Best of luck.
Read MoreThanks for using Boop by Petco! In general bepanthem would be better but this depends on the reason you are using it. If it is a fairly superficial wound it would be ok to use. However, if it is deep or there is exposed tissue, this would not be appropriate. Best of luck!
Read MoreThe vet most likely used a suture material for the spay that takes a very long time to dissolve (like PDS) and she is having a reaction to that suture material that is still left there. I would not be worried about this unless it abscesses and opens. For now, just monitor it.
Read MoreThat is a small amount of oil, and while Percy should be ok, I would keep an eye on him to be safe. Oil is a fat, and too much fat can cause pancreatitis in dogs. Symptoms of pancreatitis include abdominal pain, vomiting, lethargy, and anorexia. If you see any of those signs, rush him into a vet immediately because pancreatitis is very serious. Best of luck.
Read MorePumpkins aren't toxic. If she swallowed a large piece of the stem it could possibly cause an intestinal obstruction, so watch her closely over the next few days for anything abnormal, including lethargy, decreased appetite, vomiting or diarrhea. If see anything odd, she should get checked out by a vet.
Read MoreThis could be caused by a local inflammation and possibly an infection. Persistent licking and rubbing can worsen the inflammation. A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly anti-inflammatory ointment are needed to solve the problem. At home, some zinc oxide ointment/cream (like sudocream) can be apply twice daily. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking (if any).
