Anyone know what this spot could be?
I just got a dog. She just showed up at my door when she was about 6
weeks old. Anyway, she has a spot under her arm. I am pretty sure she did not have this when she showed up. Anyone know what this could be? http://imgur.com/1piLZ Thanks |

A little peroxide and/or colloidal silver will clear it up. Looks like a scrap mark although it's in a place that is usually protected from such things. Quit making people panic over the small stuff. |

None of these individuals are vets or even school trained vet techs.
Take the dog to your vet and get a real answer. If it's nothing major, you will have that reassurance and stop worrying, If it needs further care, you will get the right care. If she is a found dog, and you have not taken her to the vet yet, she needs a rabies shot. FYI, the current use of hydrogen peroxide is ONLY for the initial cleaning of a wound.... information per a school trained vet tech. Repeated use on an open wound causes undesireable tissue changes. This is now the Same use as in human medicine (I'm a nurse). Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia |

Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia Thanks everyone Take the dog to the vet and find out what it is. If the vet's treatment doesn't work then try experimenting with other medicines. I had a dog that was scratching its fur off. Took it to the vet and they gave her a steroid shot and anti biotics. Took her back a couple of months later and asked if it could be a yeast infection and they gave her a steroid shot and antibiotics. A couple of months later I used a tube of prescription medication for yeast rashes and the dog cleared up in a couple days and stopped scratching. The experts may not always be right, but that's the place to start. |

You went to one of those vets whose answer is always antibiotics and steroids, no matter what it is. Get a vet who is willing to find a diagnosis before throwing paint on the wall, hoping something will hit. buglady take out the dog before replying |
