|  What is this thing on Chester's leg? I just noticed this on my dog's leg and I have no clue what it is. It looks like a mole with a sort of reddish tint. This is new on him. It is a little bit raised, but it doesn't look like blood. Does this look familiar to anyone? Any ideas? Does this require a vet visit? Thanks for any help!

| Hmm, never seen that before. I would say yes to vet visit, but maybe someone else has an idea.

| is it flat?? it almost looks like a bruise... i'd watch it for a few days- see if it goes down- then call the vet- nothing like spending a lot of money for them to tell you it's nothing  |

| I think it looks like a blood blister. It looks too big to be a bug bite. Could something have accidentally pinched him?

I guess I'll just watch it really closely and see what happens.

| In my opinion, it doesn't look like a bug bite. It looks like it's under the skin, a bug bite isn't. Blood blisters usually don't really hurt, he could've gotten it by something simple and that's why he isn't favoring it/it isn't bothering him. I would just give it a little bit (if you feel comfortable enough doing so) and see if it clears up, it should if it's a blood blister.

| I just got home and checked Chester's leg. Today, it looks a bit different than it did yesterday. There is a red dot in the middle, surrounded by a whitish area, then that is surrounded by red. Today it looks like some sort of bite...

Some tick bites look like that. Watch him, if he becomes sick and get's tired or listless down the road call the vet. If it is a tick that bit him watch for lymes. | |
