My beagle has a bump on her head I notices a few days ago. I've been kinda asking around and no one knows what it was, so I figured I'd turn to TOO. I got the best pics I could, she wouldn't hold still lol.
Bump on dogs head
- Thread starter moundhill
- Start date
How old is she ?? I use to have a dog that would get those as he got older. Never did figure 'em out, I just accounted it TOO age. As I get older, I notice I got this odd looking thing on top of my neck....lol
Looks like what our boxer has. Seems to be getting more and more of them the older he gets. Forget what the vet told me they were but essentially like a mole or cyst if memory serves correct. She checked them out and said not to worry at this point but keep an eye on them. I am far from a vet though so don't take my word on it.
Skin Tag.
That's what I called them when they was on my Boxer. Like Phil said, they are a type of cyst that is usually nothing to worry about. Just need to keep an eye on it. The boxer we had we had to have one removed because it got to be a good size and the vet wanted to remove it...I think he just wanted to rack us money lol.

We had a white german Shepard when I was a kid and she was out during the day a d in at night, but during the summer she'd get bumps that we attributed too bug bites, the flies loved the top of her head and ears.... Her head got bumps like that....

I think Hoot said his girlfriend has these all over her body. He tried to PM me a picture. It crashed my computer.

Have no clue Jake. I agree with the others though and just keep an eye on it.

My basset gets them from time to time. They seem to appear quickly but take a while to get the size of a marble. She had two so far. I let the last one on her head get about the size of a marble then cut it. Basically i pinched it real hard below then slit it with a razor. Pinching it from below paudo numbs it. Cant feel the cut because if the pinch. There was a bunch of really thick puss in there. Almost the consistency of wet cornmeal. Did the same to one on her back. After I cut them I kind of jammed neosporin in there and it healed fine.
