Bump on belly?

[MischasMomma]

I was rubbing mischas belly and thought her nipple seemed small, then I realized its in between nipples. Any idea what this could be?

It almost looks like a blood blister to me?

What could cause That? Anything to worry about?

I have no idea if that's what it is but she could have pinched herself somehow and caused it. It shouldn't be a concern unless she starts licking it a lot. I'll let the others chime in since I could be way off too.

I don't know about Dobers, but our Shih Tzus get stuff that looks like that. If you watch it and it starts to open up (like a blackhead look) or swells, the vet may need to drain and clean. On our Shih Tzus they are cysts. Sort of like a cyst pimple. Sebaceous cyst is what they are called. COULD be that.

Yup, looks like a cyst. Or in other words, a doggy pimple. Don't squeeze it. Just let it be. If it seems to grow or become bothersome, then have the vet take a look. But it's likely to just go away on its own eventually. My old pit used to get them alllllll the time.

Thanks guys!! Were due for the vet check up in about a month anyway, so if its still there well definitely bring it up! As long as it doesnt seem to be anything to worry about yet, I won't move up the appointment!

It does kinda look like she's been itching at it, unless those bald patches have been there ?

No, shes always had those bald patches down her belly. The bump doesnt seem to bother her.
