New skin tag like growths that look unusual

Thank you for your question. I apologize for the delay, this venue is not set up for urgent emails. Without being able to see the lumps, or be able to examine your dog, it is difficult to say whether you should be worried. If you are concerned, It would be best to have your pet seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine them, see what might be going on, and get treatment for them.

Not sure what this on my dogs nose. Looks like a skin tag. Seemed to show up overnight. Seems painful for the dog.

Thank you for your question. From your description, it is possible that this is an infection, a fungal disease, or a tumor that needs to be paid attention to. Since it seems to have come on suddenly, and it seems to be bothering him, it would be best to have him seen by your veterinarian. They will be able to examine him, see what this lump might be, and give you treatment options. I hope that all goes well for your dog.

Muppet has had this skin tag on his leg for a few years it was pi k and white turned partially black now its bleeding

Thank you for your question. Without being able to see the skin tag, unfortunately, it is hard to say what might be going on. It would probably be a good idea to have Muppet seen by your veterinarian, to see what options there are for treatment or removal so that it does not continue to cause problems. Hope it all goes well for him.

Our dog had a large pink skin tag on her cheek for over a year. Today, I noticed it was black. I touched it and noticed that it was loose and then fell off. Should I be concerned?

Hello- If the skin appears healthy and not irritated or infected I wouldn’t be concerned. I would recommend just monitoring the area for a reoccurrence of the growth and if it occurs have it checked out by your vet. Have a great day!

My dog developed a black, super shiny “tag” on his lip overnight. Any idea what it is?

Thank you for your question. If it came up overnight, suddenly, it may be an infection, or a tick, or a growth of some kind. It would be a good idea to monitor him closely and see if it resolves or if it gets larger. If it does not resolve or it is causing him to bother with it, it would be a good idea to have your veterinarian look at it to see if any treatment may need to be given. I hope that all goes well for him!
