Swollen follicle-like skin issue
Jun 21 2007, 1:39 AM EDT About two days ago, I noticed under my pug Zoey's chin, a small swollen, sac-like thing. I don't really know how to describe it except that it is the same color as the hair on her chin (gray) and it is small and puffy, almost as if a hair has swelled up. I thought it wasn't even attached at first, but it is firm and apparently something from her skin. She's not scratching at it, but it does seem to annoy her when I touch it. Two days later now and there is a second one on the top of her head. This time fawn colored, matching the area where the fur is. It is slightly longer than the fur and probably like the size of a grain of rice. Firm, odd looking, because it really doesn't look as if it's detached. Anybody have a clue as to what this might be or what to do about it? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Sep 29 2007, 10:54 AM EDT Hi, one of my friends has a pug with the same thing.. she took it to her vet and they told her that it was a form of cists and for her to not be worried because all pugs get them at some time.. I dont know how true this is but her pug has like 7 of them all over her and she doesnt seem to be in pain from them so it may be true. hope this helped. Do you find this valuable? |
