Dog with blood-blister-like growths on her belly, one torn and bleeding
What they asked
A friends dog has blood blister type growths on her stomach and I'm helping take care of the dog. I'd like to find out what the condition is. I believe it has something to do with her allergies, and scratching with her nails. She's been taking allergy medicine and she's less itchy, but one of the growths tore off and continues to bleed on and off.
I would get them to an appointment whenever they can. There are a number of different size and shapes of growths that have me concerned.

Ask Dylan a questionAnswered from your description alone, without examining your pet. That makes this general information, not a diagnosis, treatment plan, or prescription, and it is not intended to establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. There is only so much anyone can tell from a message. For guidance specific to your pet, book an appointment so a vet can examine them properly.
