Question
I have a 9 month old boxer, and i have come to realize that under his chin there is a blister and bunches of sores....
He scratches them and they begin to bleed. Ive been putting Triple antibiotic ointment on it, hasn't worked. The vet is closed for surgery today, and i need to know if anyone knows if its allergies or something else. Thanks

Answer
Katie - I believe they may be virus/ warts - You can have the vet take a look.  Many times they will just let it run it's course.  After 3-4 months, if they don't go away, they will take them off with a surgical procedure.

Give him some Benadryl 25 mg every 8 hrs... Call your vet for a check up tomorrow.  If you need help with supplements and salves, I have some all natural and safe alternatives.

BEST of Luck
