All animal keepers like to have pets, take care of their hair and their appearance. Unfortunately, sometimes during this care routine, it is possible to find something different in the dog’s body. The appearance of a piece or crop can generate a series of doubts and concerns among the guardians who fear for the health of the animal. Is that wrong? How can I treat it? What about my dog? Is there a cure? Maybe those are some of the problems.
Don’t worry, this Animal Expert article will help you understand what a dog with bloated chatting can be and put an end to your doubts.
- Have you ever wondered what a bullet could be in a dog’s neck? It may be a reaction to insect bites.
- Abscesses.
- Mucoles.
- Enlarged lymph nodes.
- Or something more severe like a tumor.
- Read the article to learn more about each of these etiologies.
When an insect bites or bites the dog, it may develop a local or, more severe, systemic reaction. The local reaction is characterized by swelling, erythematosity (redness) and itching (itching) and painful to the touch. This discussion can be smooth or more consistent and its location depends on the location of the bite.
If you notice or suspect that your pet has been bitten, apply ice locally to prevent/reduce swelling and take the animal to the veterinarian, as this local reaction may evolve to something severe systemic, such as an anaphylactic reaction.
Cysts are nodules filled with liquid, gas or a more solid material, and abscesses are more or less circumscribed accumulations of purulent matter (pus) and can leave the dog with a soft, swollen chatter.
There are several reasons for its appearance, in the case of abscesses, they can result from inoculations of bacteria by scratches or bites, abscesses in the neck and face of the dog can be frequent.
Its location is variable, as is its consistency. However, cysts that contain gas or liquid have a soft consistency, as do abscesses at the beginning of infection.
Sometimes, when an animal is attacked or traumatized, the skin can accumulate air balls in one of its layers and also cause a tender cat to give way and take the shape of the finger.
A dog with a soft, swollen chatting can be caused by a mucocul, considered a pseudocyst and results from a rupture or obstruction of a salivary gland and the corresponding channel that causes saliva to build up in surrounding tissues, resulting in a chatteum filled with Salive. This conversation is usually very important but not painful.
There are several salivary glands in the dog’s mouth, so its location can vary, from the cheek to the chin to neck (swollen gland in the dog’s neck).
In most situations, they are the result of trauma and treatment may involve removal of the gland to prevent recurrence.
Lymph nodes have several functions, but a very important function is to alert you when something is wrong with the animal’s body and give the dog a soft and tender language. They become reactive, enlarged, painful and prominent in case of infection or disease.
The easiest areas to feel are the neck, armpits and ink, and when they become reactive they are hard-consistency bumps. If you have experienced discussions, seek the help of a trusted veterinarian to make a correct diagnosis and pass the most appropriate treatment.
Bruises are accumulations of blood in organs or tissues as a result of trauma, clotting problems or other diseases, and sometimes bruises can appear as blisters of accumulated blood and as a chat.
Otophematomas are ear bruises characterized by a buildup of blood between the skin and ear cartilage due to microfractures of the cartilage and the rupture of the corresponding blood vessels. This injury causes the ear to turn into a pocket of swollen, soft blood with blood inside it.
To solve this problem of the dog with an inflated harvest, it is necessary to perform a simple surgical procedure in which systemic drains, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory are placed.
Hygromas also leave the dog with a soft, swollen chatting and are encapsulated accumulations of joint fluid near the joints. They are the result of rupture of the joint capsule, which is filled with joint fluid that protects the joints from bumps when walking or during stationary rest (at rest).
The joint capsule can be broken by mechanical resistance and/or joint capsule degeneration and, although this problem is more common in medium, large or giant dogs and obese dogs or dogs that spend most of the day on hard soils, small dogs can also be affected.
There are asymptomatic animals (no symptoms) and others that have symptoms such as limping (limp), increased temperature in the area, or excessive licking that can cause hair loss and ulcerated sores.
It is usually an easy problem to solve and the animal recovers very well. However, it is advisable to reduce weight (if it is an above-average weight animal), control weight and use chondroprotectors to avoid recurrences and improve the quality of life of the animal.
A dog with a soft, swollen chatter may be the result of a hernia, which is a bulge/bulge of an internal organ outwards. There are several types of hernias:
They look like visible swelling from the outside, but it is actually a part of the organ that has passed through an opening in a more fragile muscle region and has subsided, being covered only by small layers of skin. They have a traumatic, congenital, physical or iatrogenic stress origin (caused by humans, for example in post-surgical periods).
In puppies umbilical hernia, a bulge next to the navel of part of an internal organ of the abdomen that has been externalized by defects in the closure of this place when cutting the umbilical cord is very common.
Inguinal hernia occurs when the inguinal canal, located between the abdominal muscles near the groin, has a sufficient opening for the passage of the organ.
Quando estamos perante uma suspeita de hérnia é necessário avaliar se a hérnia é redutível, o tamanho da abertura da hérnia, qual o órgão envolvido e se ele está aprisionado ou aderido, uma vez que isso pode significar que a vida do animal pode estar em perigo. A partir desta avaliação o veterinário decidirá se é necessária cirurgia ou não.
Some skin tumors may appear as soft, swollen puffs in the dog. In addition to breast tumors, you also experience a soft, swollen lump.
Tumors can be benign or malignant, but don’t risk waiting too long to know, you have to detect it as soon as possible to be treated early and prolong the life of the animal.
These are some of the causes of dogs with soft and swollen ears, however, it is always recommended to go to the veterinarian, since only he will be able to observe, examine his pet and determine the best treatment to help his pet.
For these reasons, a remedy for swollen dogs can only be determined when the cause is discovered, but you can apply some local ice to try to reduce swelling, clean and disinfect the area if it is infected.
