My dog has this nasty bruise right next to his p***s?

Question

I am really worried and I am taking him to the vet tomorrow but I just wanted to see if I can get an idea of what it is. I am prepared for the worse but I hope it doesn't come down to it.

I went to school this morning to fill out some paperwork for the new semester and I left my one year old Chihuahua/Dachsund at home with his sister (a Lhasa/Pom also one year old) and my older brother was outside fixing cars. I put the baby gate on the bottom step so they can run around and play upstairs. They aren't allowed downstairs when we aren't home.

Well when I came home, I noticed a dark bruise next to my Chi/Dachsund mix and it was just about a dime size and it was blue. Recently I spilled some blue ink and it hasn't got blotted up right away yet so I thought maybe he laid down in that spot. But about a few hours later, the bruise got longer and more purple in color and also had a red spot kind of in the middle of it.

It doesn't seem to hurt him when we touch it, his skin is still the same not scaly or anything of that sort. I iced it a little for him but it doesn't seem to get better. It's not bothering him as I don't see him l*****g or scratching it. I've read on the internet it can be anything from internal bleeding, to cancer, to all kinds of stuff.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this? Does anyone have an idea of what it could be?

I am adding pictures so you can see. Sorry they are so big and also it is of his p***s so don't get offended.

Answer 1

All I see is an irritated nipple.

Answer 2

pop it!

Answer 3

okay, you already suspect it so i'll just say it.

your dog was kicked.

the red area is where the shoe contacted the skin, the purple area is in back of that where the blood collected.

the fact that it is next to the p***s is irrelevant, that describes everything underneath a small dog that is kicked because there is nowhere else that a foot would contact

you suspect it was your brother who kicked your dog.

it could only be him or someone he let into the house while you were gone.

now, are you satisfied that someone else sees the obvious?  

Answer 4

All your pictures are way too blurred but the last one is a riot!

Problem is, you can't see his bruise on the last one, lol!

Just take your pooch to the vet as planned and see what happens.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Just relax until you get him to the vet. Only they can tell you what it is.

If you worry you create negative energy. Negative energy can actually manifest physical problems or make them worse. So stop worrying for the sake of your dog's health.

Answer 6

Dogs can get contusions from various things that happen - just like people.  I can't tell you how many times I've woke in the morning and wondered where that bruise came from.

  It really doesn't look serious and I'm sure everything will turn out fine.  I know you're very worried and going to the vet is the smartest thing you can do.

Good luck.  I'd be interested to know what the results are.

mdmartin2 needs her head jerked off! Some people are so stupid and insensitive!!!

I don't know why he has a bruise, but I'm glad you're taking him to the vet. He was probably playing and ran into (or fell onto) something. And the pix are not too blurry. I can see the bruise just fine. Just don't know why he has it. =(
