Super weird, noticed it today on his right foreleg just above the elbow joint. Feels like there’s something underneath, and had this chunky white protrusion. Can’t find an exact match via Google. Expecting some sort of cyst or maybe a blocked gland?
Here’s two more photos
Can we please get a full photo of the good boy or girl for posterity
Of course! Here he is:
Looked like either a rupturing cyst or maybe a skin tag. I wouldn’t think it’s anything serious but I will always recommend having a vet check it. Imo it’s likely nothing but I’m also not a trained vet.
Actually could be the breathing asshole of a parasitic fly larvae. Put some petroleum jelly over it in a thick layer and see if whatever it is crawls out.
Holy shit, looks almost exactly like a botfly… Going to try this for sure… Don’t think I have any jelly. I’ll see what I have on hand.
Gf seconding botfly. Looks like you caught it early. Smothering might work but she recommends vet because those suckers can get bulbous and cause an abscess.
Yeah kinda thinking the same (going to the vet), don’t want to cause it to be worse. I just moved and haven’t found a vet yet. I’ll try and get him to one as soon as possible, thanks for the input!
3rding possible botfly. The wound looks a lot like the one my cat had.
