strange bump on pups head

FiReBReTHa · 12-27-2004, 09:56 PM

Our doberman seems to have developed a fluid filled bump on the top of his head, about the size of a dime. He has had it at least a month. We thought it was a mosquito bite at first, but we think its possible that a baby gate fell on his head

Is there any way we can get rid of this bump or will it just go away? It doesnt seem to bother him, when i touch it, it causes no pain.

I dunno.. I would think only a vet could tell you for sure....

Could it be an irritation from the cup or tape?

Could be an abcess from a bite or cut since it's fluid filled or possibly even a fatty tumor. Your best bet would be to have the vet take a quick look at it.

Have a vet take a look at it. It could be nothing and then it could be serious. I wouldn't take the chance of waiting to see.
