My Daisy that I adopted came to me in March with lick sores covering her legs front and back. They all healed up except for one which she just wouldnt leave alone. Finally after getting meds and using Vicks VaporRub I finally got her to leave it alone and it healed up. There is like a stain on her fur from all the licking but no sore.
This morning she was laying on the bed next to me and I noticed her licking it again. Not really hard like she used to but like someone that had an itch and wanted to get rid of it. When I looked at the spot, I noticed that it seemed raised and there is a knot of hard tissue under it.
My questions are: Could it be scar tissue that is inflamed? Could it be a cyst that came up from that spot? Or could it be something more serious and that is why she kept messing with it?
I am really worried that it could be something else and right now I wouldnt be able to take care of it because of our money situation. Going to make a vet appt but wanted to check with everyone here to see if they might have an idea. Would take a picture but it just shows up as a bump. And not really that well.
