sore on charlies lip  
The other day I noticed my dog had a red bump that looks kind of like a sore and I'm really worried, do you know what it might be?

Answer
Looking at a picture is just not enough to be able to hazard a guess. Even if I saw the mass in person I would be unlikely to know what it is.

Read some of my other entries for general holistic suggestions or go to my web site - www.MyHealthyAnimals.com.  As a veterinarian with holistic training I would not spend your money on a biopsy which could cause some complications. I would start by improving the diet and adding in antioxidents.  I have had good success with Olive leaf extract resolving lumps. the best is to get professional homeopathic treatment - www.theAVH.org to find a practitioner. Since vaccines cause most lumps, please read about vaccines on my site or in earlier posts (my computer not functioning, so I cannot link to tons of info right now).

One possibility is merely a pimple, though they are usually on the chin and look a bit more angry. Just to be sure, stop using any plastic food or water bowls, and even stop any plastic chew toys.
