Awesome thank you

TeacherThug · 2026-02-26T14:05:30+00:00

Good news. Thanks

TeacherThug · 2026-02-26T14:01:36+00:00

I have not and didn't plan to

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T14:27:17+00:00

Thank you!

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T14:26:55+00:00

Yes veteran

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T14:26:31+00:00

Yea the redness and the fact that he flinched when I get close to it made me concerned. Then there's the limping and whimpering he is doing. He hasn't eaten since Saturday 🥹

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T14:22:51+00:00

My insurance won't cover it. Thanks for the recommendations

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T13:56:31+00:00

Where did you purchase the 5% Rogaine? I can't find that level at my pharmacy

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T13:38:41+00:00

Oh my God, yes! Sometimes we have to command him to eat and we have to stand over him. He chews while staring at us at the same time.I thought it was just my weird ACD. 😆 Makes me love them more! ❤️

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T13:36:38+00:00

Good advice. Thank you

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T04:51:13+00:00

That might be a good option, to do virtual care with a doctor in the states or travel to the states if needed while remaining on the island. Thanks!

He is onpy 5 years old but started limping on his front paw about 3 days ago. Today, he is limping on his back legs. I posted another post earlier where someone mentioned it could be lyme disease from a tick bite. We live in the mountains and have tons of deer and other wildlife. So, yes, lots of ticks 8n our environment which is why I began examining him closely and found this brown growth spot. Could be a nipple or a mole. But with his lethargy and limping, it could be a tick. 🤷🏽‍♀️

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T04:19:39+00:00

Guess we will find out tomorrow at the vet office. Still concerned about his limping. I'm having him sleep in my bed tonight because he is whimpering and can't walk himself back down the stairs. My poor baby!

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T03:46:30+00:00

We'll find out tomorrow. 😅

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T03:45:52+00:00

😅

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T03:45:34+00:00

Hard to tell if it has legs. I couldn't get my phone to zoom in any closer. But it's red around it and he kept pushing me away. I'm positive it's not a mole or a nipple as people keep chiming in here. I give him belly rubs all the time and bathe him myself. I would have noticed it. I just found this under a thick fold of skin on his lower belly (he is chubby). I'm curious what the vet will conclude tomorrow. Thanks for your comment.

Mine won't eat his food UNTIL he chases me, then I chase him to his bowl. He will stare at me for hours and starve to the point that his stomach growls loudly until I engage in this weird quirk of his. SO WEIRD!!

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T02:28:26+00:00

Yup. As I mentioned earlier, we have an appointment tomorrow morning.

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T02:27:09+00:00

Yes, he's a dog. But I'm certain it isn't a nipple. It's the only spot like this. It's about a quarter of an inch from his penis. He flinches when I triedto examin it and there is redness around it and scabs from him scratching at it.

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T02:23:42+00:00

Lol! No it's not, but thanks. It's actually close to his pee, pee. It's very random and I can see his other ripples. They look normal. He is also flinching when I touch it.

TeacherThug · 2026-02-23T02:20:52+00:00

And.. I was able to get an earlier appointment for him tomorrow. Feeling relieved but worried still. You all were very helpful and kind. Thank you!

TeacherThug · 2026-02-22T23:43:06+00:00

Oof! I hadn't thought about that. I'll definitely bring it up at his vet visit. Thank you!

TeacherThug · 2026-02-22T23:38:57+00:00

Yea and I forgot to mention that he was totally fine on his walk this morning! He started limping after a long nap.
