Could my French Bulldog's leg rash be a lick granuloma? What to do?

It looks like a lick granuloma which can be secondary to itching, pain, boredom, stress, OCD. They are commonly treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and bandages or E-collar to prevent licking. If that doesn't work then anti-anxiety medications, like Prozac, can be prescribed to see if that helps. Below is a link with a website with additional information. http://www.skinvetclinic.com/acrallickdermatitis.html

These look like they may be lick granuloma. They are caused by chronic licking. You would need to have Milo physically examined by your veterinarian for confirmation. The underlying cause for the excessive licking must be diagnosed and treated. Potential causes include boredom, stress, allergies, foreign body or even infection. Antibiotics and steroids may be needed. In severe cases, the lesions are injected with a steroid. Place an e-collar (cone) on him to prevent licking.

This could be a lick granuloma /hot spot. However, it is impossible to say without actually looking at the lesion. this could also be a little tumor or infection. Your boyfriend will need to keep the dog from licking the lesion and take Maxxy to a vet for an exam and treatment. If it is a lick granuloma, then the vet will prescribe antibiotics over a longer period of time, possibly inject the lesion with steroids and the dog will need to wear an e-collar until it is gone. Sometimes boredom can aggravate the licking.

Ouch! That is definitely a sore spot that should be seen by your vet. Yeast, bacterial, allergies (which weather changes can trigger), growths, and more can all be possible causes for a sore like that. In addition to trying the benadryl and having a veterinary appointment, I would also place an Elizabethan (cone) collar on Travis to prevent him from licking it and causing more irritation.

I recommend to have Messi examined by the veterinarian. Skin masses can be many things but red raised masses are especially concerning for a skin cancer called a Mast Cell tumor. Your veterinarian will need to collect a sample of cell to examine under the microscope to determine what this is and if further treatment is needed. have Messi wear an elizabethan collar to prevent licking. Have this checked out soon.

Hi, from your picture it appears your dog is getting an lick granuloma. It will help to use hair clippers and trim the hair around the area to look for sores and redness. Some dogs will do this compulsively, or he may have a small bite or scratch. You can cover the area with a breathable baby sock, making sure it is not secure too tightly. Or keep the cone on for about 3 days to see it the area heals on it's own. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Small bumps like this on the skin are usually a sign of a bacterial skin infection called pyoderma - this can occur on its own, or due to an underlying skin problem like allergies or skin mites (mange). You can try bathing her in a chlorhexidine dog shampoo to see if this helps. If not, or if the bumps seems to be spreading or if they become itchy or painful, it would be best to have her examined by a vet. He/she can do a simple test called a skin scrape to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate medication to treat it.
