pottydotty Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Just found this mark on my Sam (jack russell terrier boy), not sure when it come up but sometime today, maybe in the last hour or so? I've tried to take the best pics I can... It looks like a bruise or even a hickey - but it has a baby blue bit in the middle. Anyone have any suggestions? If it's still there tomorrow morning we will definately go and see his vet. Debating whether to visit the emergency vet but he appears to be fine in himself, same as usual.

Fee Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hard to be sure, but looks like ringworm to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottydotty Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Nope it isn't ring worm. It does look very much like a bruise and although still there this morning, it doesn't seem so in my face as it did yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 What did the vet say? Has he had a tick on him that you know of? Looks to me like it could possibly be a Lyme disease rash? If that's a possibility, talk to a Homeopathic Vet too. Hope I'm totally wrong and look silly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottydotty Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 It is only a bruise... it was just a bit of a shock when I first saw it yesterday and I panicked unnecessarily. It really does only look like a bruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 phew! I checked with someone who has Lyme and she said dogs don't generally have the rash, so time for me to look silly Mind you, I'm glad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mop Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 It is better to say Muriel, if you hadn't and it had been lyme disease you would never have forgiven yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
