Dermoid sinus??

OK as my daughter is a worry wart I really didn't think that there would be a problem when she said, "Mum I think the puppy is sick.'

"What is it?" I asked her.

"She has lumps all over her bottom."

I saw Xena this morning when I gave her breakfast. We have been out all morning and arrived home around 1pm. I sent Mona out to play with Xena while I made her food. This morning Xena was fine.

I went outside to see her and yes she did have lumps on her rump. A lot of lumps! They felt medium hard underneath. Xena didn't seem bothered by them.

I haven't changed Xena's diet or taken her anywhere she could have caught anything. She's had all her shots.

I took some pics and rang my boyfriend up north but he was out. I will take her to a doctor tomorrow. I looked it up on line and it looks like the genetic disorder that Ridgebacks get called Dermoid sinus.

I hope it isn't that but it looks like that from the pictures I've seen online.

I can't believe they showed up just like that!

This is not a good situation for the puppy. Anyways I will take her to the vet tomorrow and find out.

It also could be insect bites but she doesn't seem bothered by them.
