My Dog has recently got this grey sort of puss filled dangling oval shape on his shoulder blade and im worried it could be serious.

It might just be dead skin or something but i'm scared , what if it's a tumor or cancer?





Hi David
I know how scary it can be when your pet is sick, but the only way to find out what's wrong is to get a veterinarian to examine your dog and make a professional diagnosis.

Chances are good that this is something very simple, maybe an infection around an injury or insect bite/sting, a common cyst or something similar.

However, whatever it is it does need to be looked at by your vet so that if any treatment is necessary it can get started now. Even if the remote chance of it being something serious does happen, then the sooner you get a diagnosis the better.

Your dog is relying on you to make sure he's protected, so please get him an appointment asap. It will put your mind at rest. Best of luck.
