Dog with lump near rump
Last week after picking my dog (2yo Shih Tzu, male neutered) up from the groomer, I noticed a red lump above his left back leg, closer to bum. I brought him to the vet the next day and was told that it was not normal and was either a wart or a tumor. The vet gave me a cream to apply 3 times a day. It has been almost a week now and the bump is still red and seems to be a little bigger. I have been on the internet looking up lumps on dogs but have been unable to find any information on red lumps. I am very worried and was wondering if I should you had some information for me. |

Cat with sore on hip
Hi -- My 16 year old male neutered DSH cat has a sore on his hip area. It's been there for about 2 weeks. There's no fur left in the area, which is about as big as a half dollar, and it looks like there is puss. He doesn't seem to be in pain, he is not licking or biting it, and there are no blood or scabs. We have no idea what started it. It looks sort of like a burn would on a person (but it's not a burn). What, if anything, should I do about this? Is it worth calling my vet, or will it just heal in time? Is there an ointment I should be applying or some other treatment? Since he doesn't seem to be in pain we were just hoping it would heal. Thanks for your advice!
