Dog with lump on cheek
At her initial veterinary visit yesterday (4/1) she (9mo female neutered Border Collie) was given a clean bill of health except tapeworms (received Droncit injection) and upper respiratory infection (Rx - cephalexin 500mg BID x 10days). A couple hours following the vet visit a pea-sized nodule appeared under the skin on her cheek. It's round, feels encapsulated and does not seem to be painful. It just popped up. She had been outside for a little while (insect bite?) and also had a voracious bone-chewing session that afternoon (hematoma?). Would appreciate your advice... thanks for the convenient service! |

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
