So I posted a question a few days ago about Dixie having a bump on her head. A few people think the bump on Dixie's head might be a pimple..but do dogs get pimples?
Its right on her head between her eye and her ear. It reminds me of the things on Shreks head. It's got the stem type end to it and a big ball on the top. She flinches when we touch anywhere near it but she still acts like a normal puppy so it must not be that bad.
I would go to the vet. Animals can get acne but I know in cats it presents as black flaky spots, usually on the chin. When it happened to one of our cats they told us to use a light acne cream (there was a specific ingredient but I forget) and it helped. But this does not sound like that.
I would definitely at least call the vet, s/he can tell you if you need to come in or if you can ignore/treat it.
I have a Mastiff with acne, but it is on his chin from being wet all of the time. You really should see a vet about it- just to be safe. It is not the doggy acne my boy has- It could be something to worry about.
