Red Fox Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Kei has a little pink lump in amongst where his whiskers are. It first showed up when he was around 8 months old then soon disappeared so I though little of it. In the past month or so it has re-appeared again (he is now 14 months old). It doesn't appear to be itchy or causing him any pain, it did however bleed a little when I had a pick at it (I first though it may have been an ingrown whisker so gave it a little squeeze ). It almost looks like a blood vessel that some people get close to the skin -the ones that look like small raised pink bumps. I thought I would just have it checked when I take him to the vet in January but now am wondering if I should go sooner... Does anyone know what it might be *I'll add a pic soon if I can get a decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Fox Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 My first ridgeback had one similiar & it was a pimple. Not sure if it the same at Kei's. Thanks. I dont think it's a pimple though. It's harder then a pimple and no pus inside. Kind of looks a little like a skin tag but I dont think a skin-tag would form in this area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Dante has those :D he rubs his muzzle a fair bit so I gather they are from that. But couldj ust be a skin growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kei doesn't rub his muzzle at all really... I did wonder if the cat caused it when they were play-fighting and it just never healed properly?? Poor Kei has ended up with the occasional claw in the muzzle Doesn't stop him going back for more though A skin growth could be a possibility. It's not growing or bothering him at all so think I'll just have it checked in January :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
