Blood Blisters

Question
I have a 7 year old pitbull and here lately I've been noting what looks like blood blisters. I've popped them a few times and put peroxide on them but they seem to come back in different spots. She's in really good health and they don't seem to bother or distress her in anyway's. She has had skin irritations in the past but nothing like this?

Answer
Hi Earl,

You need to have your dog diagnosed by your veterinarian. It can be a number of things, but your description of the blood blister-like sores made me think of hemangioma, which is a skin cancer that produces small blood blisters on the skin in some dogs.

I'm not a doctor, so don't take my word as gospel, but you definitely should have your dog examined by a vet.

Best of luck,

Patti
