QuestionLast night while cleaning the four corners of my baby I noticed a bump on her chest. It is about the size of a pencil eraser,red, and slightly raised. It looks like a mole, but obviouly it's new. It is not causing any discomfort. I put Neosporin on it thinking that it may not help...but it surely won't hurt. Any thoughts as to what this could be, or any remedies would be wonderful! Also, I LOVE your site! i think I've read all your archives! Thanks!
AnswerHi Terrie- thanks for the nice words!
I love Engish Bullies!!! Love that face!!
As far as little Jazzy, not sure on this one.... The Neosporin can't hurt... Sometimes a bug bite can be very hard, red and raised. A spider can cause this kind of bump.
You can call your vet and ask about giving Benadryl... If the Benadryl works then you know it was a reaction to a bug bite?
If the benedryl doesn't work, I would take a visit to the vet.
The regular dosage is here:
Benadryl Treats allergies, itching, insect stings, bites
1/2 mg per/lb every 8 hrs, maximum 2 mg per/lb
Example - Your dog's weight is 10 lbs - you can give 5 to 20 mg every 8 hrs. ( you need to buy the childrens tablets and put them in cheese)
If you have a dog over 20 lbs, then you can buy the adult tablet dosages..
Hope this helps -
