Questionhello, i have a 3 year old red nose pitt named angel. she weighs around 70 pounds. this is hard to explain but i will try my best. the area in between her front legs and where her top set of teets are is something that looks like a skin tag. its hanging about a half of an inch away from her body and the end of it is about the size of a pea and looks like it is full of blood. it doesn't seem to bother her but it worries me. what do you think it is. could it be a tumor?
AnswerOlder dogs often develop skin tags, but its not as common in younger dogs. I would definitely recommend taking her in to the vet for an exam. It may even be possible for them to remove it with just a local anesthesia. I would definitely recommend having them either aspirate it if they can't remove it, or send it out for a biopsy if they can to rule out the possibility of cancer.
