In reply to Lindsey. Hi Lindsey. There’s nothing like that associated with teething so get your vet to take a look. However, anything symmetrical is rarely very sinister except possibly enlarged lymph nodes.

My 16 week old pup has a small moveable lump in either cheek. They have only appeared over the last few days, since she has started losing her baby teeth. Are these part of her teething? Her face is slightly swollen.

In reply to Victoria. Hi Victoria. It’s unlikely those medications have contributed in any way.

Our German Shepherd had an eye bump that we thought was a tick. It’s been there for about a year. Now it’s growing rapidly to look like an elongated skin tag. If it keeps growing it will hinder his sight and off to the vet he goes. He’s currently on steroids and thyroid meds for separate medical reasons. Could those have contributed to the growth of this bump?

In reply to Karen. Hi Karen. Most of these wounds heal with a small scar but I have seen a few that remain quite prominent. There’s not much you can do except local bathing plus antibiotics and treatment of the underlying tooth.

My dog was diagnosed with an abscesses tooth after a bubble under her eye ruptured. We have her on antibiotics until her surgery but my quest is regarding the facial skin ruptured…her hair seems to be hardened in what I believe is a scab? I just don’t know how to help the wound breath or instructions to a groomer regarding this area on her face.

In reply to Elle. Hi Elle. The main question is whether there could be another tooth contributing to the abscess or even root fragments remaining from the original tooth (both are very unlikely). However it is also very unusual for an abscess to remain once the tooth has been removed completely so it’s hard to say what might be happening.

My 11 year old had to have a major tooth extraction. – I knew when I saw the lump Everything went great & she’s perfect but the lump never went away. I thought maybe scar tissue. Now I’ve squeezed a bit, it doesn’t hurt her and there’s watery blood. Still a bit of lump there because she was getting annoyed. Think it’s a problem?

In reply to Trisha Cuskaden. Hi Trisha. It should all be explained in the article.

The pictures of bumps by the eye and puss coming out from the face under the eye is caused by an abscess in the tooth/root/gums?
