Answer
Dear Katherine,

Thank you for writing to me about your 2 year olf Lab.  It's very important to have your vet examine your dog to determine what is causing the infection.  There is a condition known as mastitis, which if left untreated, can lead to gangrene and spread throughout the bloodstream and become fatal.  Please call your vet as soon as possible to set up an appointment.

Best of luck,
Shelley Davis
