Boils on my dog?

Question
Hello,

I've got a 5,5 year old boxer male and noticed yesterday he's got a boil just by his "poop-whole". What to do? Does he need to see a veterinarian; or can I clean it out myself? Could this have to do with his diet? How to avoid this in the future?

Thank you so much in advance,

Sunny regards,
Anna

Answer
Hi Anna;
A lot of things can determine his condition.
But, absolutely take him to the Vet!
There is no way I can diagnose that from not seeing it.
I would want to have him look at his Diet and his age is a factor, to genetics.
So, your Vet will determine the best route for you to take.
Best wishes,
Melissa
