Dog with blisters and lumps near vulva
My 4yo neutered female pitt bull terrier just developed bumps/blisters around her vulva. They do not seem to hurt, but she is licking them. Some are open and raw, some are closed but look like they will become open, others cannot be seen, but can be felt under the skin. The vet has never seen anything like this. She also seems to have a lump/swollen area on her left side (facing her), but the doctor did not think it felt like a hernia, or that we should immediately see what it is since it is new. What do you think it is? |

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.
