Dog with blister on back
Boise has had a recurring water blister about the diameter of a dime and 1/2 inch high, on his back up by his neck for about a 10 months. My vet showed me how to pop it, which I have done about once a month. The last I popped it (with a sterilized needle) instead of a clear stream of water spraying out, watery blood came out. Do you know why the fluid would change? Is there anything I should do? He has never experienced any pain when I do this. He did have a 2nd water blister, but after popping it the first time, it never came back. He has no other blisters on his body. He does have one hard bump, about the size of a nickle that has not gotten any larger over the past 2 years. |

Dog limping after jumping on owner
About a week ago when I came home from work I let my dog (2yo female neutered German Shepherd) Sophie out of her kennel and she jumped up on me(as she always does)to greet me and her right foot was caught in my sweater for just a few seconds. Later on in the day I noticed she was favoring that foot or leg. She doesn't whine or yelp like she has pain, but she has been limping for a week now. What could she have done to her leg? A sprain maybe? I touch up and down from shoulder to foot and it doesn't seem to bother her. Please help me. She wants to play with my other German Shepherd and I don't know what to do or what is wrong.Thanks for your time.
