Dog with lump under skin
This dog (2.5 yo female neutered hound mix) has recently been picking fights with one of my other dogs, and sustaining minor injuries. While looking her over after one of these altercations, we discovered a hard knot under the skin of her upper chest. I would say it is about 3 or so inches across, and it moves with her skin. There was a small wound from a recent fight in that same general area, but it was only about as big around as a dime, if that. It does not seem to be affecting her behavior at all, and it doesn't hurt her to press on it or move it around. Any idea what this could be, and what I should do about it? |

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?
