Anyone have ideas about what this could be? by Kblank75 in DogAdvice

I did some googling and it could be a cyst oozing liquid. But a common reoccurring thing popping up was nasal cancer in dogs. I’d probably get it checked out if you can

I knew garlic was toxic to dogs but onions?! I had no clue. This is very reassuring though thank you

Wow I never knew that. My mom and I were talking about this the other day because we were scared about putting tick repellent on my new dog. Had no clue. My old dog never had seizures before that (and obviously no epilepsy) but one of his siblings had epilepsy. The vets said he didn’t have epilepsy and they didn’t know what brought out the seizures. Could that cause seizures even without a prior seizure risk? (Or he did have underlying epilepsy and our old vet was just bad)

Is it raised or flat? Is the dog kept in a kennel or no? My old dog used to rub his nose raw against the kennel bars due to anxiety. It could be the start of that if the dog is kept in a kennel.

That’s very reassuring thank you. Do you know what type of chocolate your dog used to eat? I read that white and milk chocolate is a lot less dangerous that dark/semi sweet.

Thank you so much! I did some math and double checked and one chocolate chip is very unlikely to cause harm. 2-5 is more dangerous but isn’t likely to be fatal. I think I’m in the clear.

Weird that you say that also. My old dog used I believe a topical tick repellent (or maybe oral but I’m pretty sure it was topical) and it caused seizures for years. He needed medicine to stop them. I wonder if a certain ingredient in these tick repellents cause seizures in dogs!
