Worried about Keva *Update post 64*

[Cinder & Smoke]

I had a couple of my co-workers look at it and they both said it was a tick.
I have only seen one tick on a dog...and it was alive still, its legs were moving.

Its still not looking like a tick to me (unless maybe its all the way under the skin?),
I have no idea what it is.

I've seen (and removed) a few more than one tick, and I don't think I've
ever seen a tick, or a tick bite wound, that looked like that.

It might be best to not *fuss* with it till the WhiteCoat takes a look.
Whatever it is,you don't want to risk pushing it any deeper into her skin.

Give her a {{{Hug}}} whilst we're sending Prayers.

Yeah I wasn't going to mess with it anymore...I told my mom not to pick the scab but she did it anyway.

The two people who said it looked like a tick had seen them...one was from California and had seen ticks on her mom's dogs and the other had been to vet tech school. I really didn't think it looked like one but like I said, I have no idea what it is...it looks and feels more like a blood blister than anything. *shrugs*

I have no idea what it could be. I just hope it's nothing serious. please keep us updated and give Keva a hug for me. I hope she's back to normal soon. That could explain why she isn't eating much. Let us know how the vet goes as I am sure you will.

Doesn't look like a tic to me either. I had to take one off Jack last year, really freaked me out. It had latched on behind his ear. I'm really careful about applying their tick & flea meds on time since then. (Unfortunately RI is infested with Lyme-bearing ticks)

Kissies & hugs to Keva, I hope she's okay. Paws crossed she'll be fine.

Could it be some type of skin tag?

Hope she's okay! Ivy also gave me a scare with her cyst! I hope Keva has nothing more than regular adolescent skin problems

Doesn't look like a tick to me. There can be so many things it is that are easy to fix up Amy, try not to worry too much. Tomorrow you'll know for sure, waiting is hard, I know.

My cockapoos have always been prone to warty growths and they each have their own little ugly structures, not exactly like the other ones. This could be one of those, but of course only a vet would know for sure. Frankly I'm more concerned about the *not eating* aspect. I hope you are able to get some answers at her appointment with the vet. Worry can wear on a fur mom.
