poodle proud Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hi all, Osca had his vaccination in january. A few weeks ago I notice a small raised area in what I recall was the injection site. It doesnt feel like a prominent lump, just more like an itchy bite lump. Its between his shoulder blades. I thought it would go away bit its still there, its not red but pinker than the skin surrounding it. It hasn't affected the hair gowth He will let me touch it but doesnt want me playing with it for too long. It looks like there were remanants of a very small scab but I dont recall ever seeing a sore as such there. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 They will sometimes get a lump at the vaccination site. They can last for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of that. Ive had a closer look at it today and it looks like it is like an unpopped blister with some clear fluid in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I don't think it's 'supposed' to happen but it sometimes does. Not sure about being like a blister though. The times I've seen it, it has looked more like a small swelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times I've seen it, it has looked more like a small swelling. Thanks, I found a couple of other areas other than that one. They don't look exactly the same but I'm wondering if there was a flare up of a skin condition he has had before. I decided to wash him in some pyohex shampoo which is what the vet has given us in the past. The original spot has reduced in size by half in 2 days. So I'm not sure whthere it was the injection site or just coincidental. Hopefully it will keep clearing up. Thanks for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughgirl27 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hey, My boy had a lump after having a C7 vacc. I only wanted a C5. Anyhow, it went away eventually so I don't really have any advice, except to go back to your vet and let them have a look. Hope your pooch is ok, now.
