Hello. Make sure the color of her gums & mucous membranes keep a nice pink color. Observe her breathing at rest & while sleeping. If her respirations are 30 breaths per minute or less while she is sleeping, & her gums remain nice & pink, for the next 24 hours, she will be fine. Any concerns, please have her evaluated at an emergency clinic immediately. Thanks for contacting PetCoach.

Hello, A few days ago I noticed matted fur in my dog under her ear and at later inspection it must have been a scab. Her and our other dog often play rough so I'm wondering if something has caught her and because of where it is it isn't healing due to her scratching. I've placed an ecollar on her now and have been cleaning it, it bleeds very slightly at first when doing this. Could you advise if there is anything else I need to do. No vet appts until Wednesday, am I OK to monitor until then?

Ouch! That does look pretty irritated, so if it doesn't scab over or continues to look weepy, it's a good idea to have your vet take that look on Wednesday as it may need some anitbiotics. What you're doing at home currently is perfect! I'd continue to use the E-collar to prevent pawing at it, and keep the area clean and dry. You can use a clean compress to gently keep it clean so as to not cause more irritation by rubbing at it or accidentally bumping the scab as excessive cleaning may actually be slowing down the healing process. It should be fine to wait until Wednesday to have it looked at unless it massively swells up, becomes painful to the touch, or starts to ooze any cloudy or green discolored debris (all signs of infection).

Hello Boop by Petco! Today I was petting my cat when I suddenly felt something scab like and build up near her neck and shoulder. She doesn’t play fight or anything so I’m worried this could be a type of skin infection. Thank you!

Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. Great question! I know that these spots can look white but they are actually pink and they are normal pigment and are very common. There is nothing to worry about with these. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello my cat is about 7 years old and I’ve noticed this bump on his outter ear for almost a year now it look like it started off as a scratch or bite I’m not sure because he used to be play fight with my sister cat not anymore but I’ve been so worried about it because it’s grown in the past year I don’t know if it’s a tumor or what it could possibly be and I don’t have the money to take him to the vet, has anyone seen anything like this before or know what it could possibly be ? Please help

Ouch! That unfortunately should be checked out by a vet in person, especially if it's growing in size and looking more inflamed than usual, as this could indicate something such as an infection or growth that requires treatment. Typically, a vet will be able to take a sample of the area to determine the exact cells present and what treatment is needed. Until you can get to the vet, placing an Elizabethan (cone) collar on Sebastian may help keep him from rubbing or pawing at it to help it heal. Keeping the area clean and dry may also help. If you're having trouble affording veterinary care, these resources may also help so that you can get Sebastian in to see a vet: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/are-you-having-trouble-affording-your-pet , https://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/

Hi, I have noticed that some of my 3 week old puppies have spots on their mouths. Some only have the one spot whilst some have quite a few and others have non whatsoever. One of the pups at first the spots were quite inflamed and red but now have gone down and look white. Can they get puppy acne at this age? I know strangles can be a worry but their lymph nodes are not swollen and they do not have spots anywhere else and are all fine in themselves feeding and playing etc. thank you

Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. These bump are pustules, so yes, sort of like acne but it is really inflammation of the hair follicles. It can be the beginning of puppy strangles so still continue to look out for that. You have two options: 1. Do nothing and just monitor them and let their immune systems take care of it as long as they are otherwise fine. OR 2. You can use these medicated pads once daily on the affected areas until the issue is resolved. ( https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/223965_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=146660&auto=true ) Sometimes these get very infected and inflamed, in which case, you will need to take them to the vet as oral antibiotics will be needed. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

My 1 year old puppy was playing with our great dane early in the morning about a week ago. I was trying to do something in the house when i heard the puppy scream. I thought he had hurt his leg as he kept holding it up and all day wanting me to hold him..then he seemed to get better but didnt want to eat much and couldnt bark sounded more like a cry. But he would have bouts where he seemed normal..two days ago my husband found a big swelling or lump on the side of his neck

Thanks for visiting Boop by Petco. Oh no. Poor guy. This type of injury where you have vocalization, limping, and swelling definitely needs to be looked at by your veterinarian. A thorough physical exam of the area and potentially radiographs of the bones are needed here to provide the care that Stormy needs after an injury to this degree. I would highly recommend taking him in to be seen as soon as you can. You are not going to be able to care for an injury like this at home. For tonight, its best to just keep Stormy quiet in an isolated room without any other pets to disturb him and apply a cold compress to the swollen area, if tolerated, for about 3-5 mins. Using a bag of peas will suffice. I do hope that you are able to get Stormy some medical attention soon. Best of luck and take care.

My 12 year old dog has had a lump on her gums for 3 years it's growing more and bleeding when playing... shall I risk getting it taken off vet seemed to think as she's happy and pain-free why risk it ..but it bleeds more and more shes eating fine but I worry it mite be cancer she's got alot of lumps that's all be cleared of cancer but this one is worrying me

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Coco and for providing a picture of her lump, that is very helpful. I'm not sure when you last discussed having it removed with her vet, but given that it has grown more and is bleeding, I think you should discuss removing it again. Due to her age, there is a chance this lump could be cancer, but it needs to biopsied first before any determination could be made as to whether or not it's cancer. I'd schedule an appointment with her vet. I hope this helps.
