I noticed Aevyn licking is back today and it seemed odd, so I rubbed my hands along his back and found this. What should I do?



He's acting normal, but nothing like this has happened with him before. Is this something to take care of from home, or vet, or what?

Sorry for the lack of good photo, btw. >_> He wanted to give me kisses.

It looks a lot like the sebaceous cyst that Snickers gets every now and then, especially right after its been expressed. If thats what it is, it isn't really something to worry about. I took Snickers to work to have the vet check it out and just ended up being told not to worry about it - while the techs argued over who would get to squeeze it because "its fun and like a giant zit"

Might also be a tooth mark. Looks like it is already healing, so I think you can just leave it alone. Just check on it to make sure it doesn't get all red or swollen.

definitely a puncture wound from a tooth. I've seen them on mine and that is exactly what it looks like.

Snow had something similar to that after the dog park once, looks a lot like a tooth mark.
I cleaned it well then put a dap of triple antibiotic ointment on it and it healed up in no time. I hope he heals quick!

Alright, so - dont need to worry too much? It doesn't seem to be bothering him but he's never had anything like this before. I'm not even sure when it would've happened.

I'd clean it with some hydrogen peroxide, smear some polysporin on it and keep a watch. You may need to trim away some hair if its interfering with scabbing.
