Your English pointer of 8 years has over the last 2 weeks developed dark skin growths almost like ticks around her head and mouth area if removed they come again but in a different place Any ideas?

Answer 1

See a vet as soon as possible. Any rapidly emerging health event needs to be observed, as the results have the potential to be dire, and the speed of emergence is an indicator of how long this may take. Your description does not contain nearly enough information to make a guess at a diagnosis, and it's fully possible you lack the equipment to get that information yourself. In summary, this situation is moving fast, is effecting a dog who is old enough to see a decline in the immune system, suggests no obvious syndrome, and does not provide you or I enough info to make an educated guess. Therefore, let me refer to the words of my all-too-terse friend who first answered this: Get the dog to a vet quickly. You can and shuold describe the problem over the phone, but I suspect the vet will need to examine the lesions and quite likely run a CBC. Go now, friend. Please SEE Your VET ASAP! Anything that grows fast always has the chance of being serious. Please follow up in discussion so we could send good thoughts to your pointer.

These dark skin growths could be a variety of things, including skin tags, warts, or tumors. It's best to have your dog examined by a veterinarian to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment. They may recommend further testing or removal of the growths for closer evaluation.
