Chipper again.... red growth

[wolf_Q]

It looks mostly like a bug bite, since it's so red. The elbow callouses I've seen on many dogs have been in a different area of the elbow and usually there's one on both elbows. It does look somewhat similar to the lump Nebo had on his leg...not trying to freak you out but the vet thought Nebo's lump was cancerous (it wasn't). That's something I would definitely have checked out by a vet, just to be safe.

Also I guess I wondered if it was really as red as the picture looks? When I take a picture under incandescent lighting without flash things tend to look even more bright red than they are. Hoping it's nothing though. Keep us updated Kimmy!

I'll vote for a Callous in the making; or a Hot Spot.

Probably best if the White Coat passes judgement on it.

Vet's Kids College fund prolly needs a lil pick-me-up.
You otta get a NICE Holliday card from 'em!

Yep, it's raised and really red. Bled a little after I scrubbed it. There was a small scab forming along the edge that pulled off with the washcloth.

I'll take a photo of it tomorrow morning to compare daylight vs. florescent light.

He doesn't lay on hard surfaces often (like Kia). He prefers the carpet, couch, or his bed.

I am hoping it is just a rug burn, you may try some antiobiotic ointment on it.

Hmm, I don't really know. But whatever it is I hope it's nothing to be worried about. That's the last thing you all need is another boo boo

It's darker and feeling more scabbed over like a callous this morning.
