Puppy pimple??

Veronica & Eddie on Health - Tue, June 10 2008

Today when I got home from work and took Madison out of her crate, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. But then again I didn't really look at her very closely.

When Eddie got home, however, he said Madison had a little red mark on the side of her nose. I looked closer at it and it's about the size of a pencil eraser about a centimeter to the right of her nose. I pressed on it and it felt hard, but didn't seem to cause her any discomfort.

Any guesses on what this could be?

Could be a bug bite. My dane mix always swells a little when he gets bitten.

Hm, I was considering this as well. I will wait and see if it goes down in the next couple of days.

BTW, love that avatar. Too cute!

Could it be a scrape from the crate?

I don't think so. It seems to me more like a bump from the inside than a laceration.

It has been a few days now, and it's definitely still there, but I think the 'poofiness' has gone down a *little*.

i've heard of dogs getting pimples before. I'm not sure what to do for it except wait.
