my dog has small to medium bumps on her back from about the middle of her back to about her tail?

Question

she is just a mut.she still energetic and normal other than these bumps .can any one tell me what these bumps might be

the bumps are between pimple and wartsize

Answer 1

At times, dogs will have a little bump after getting a shot, and usually it stays for about three weeks, before going away.
Dogs are also prone to have "fatty tumors" which are benign tumors, and nothing to worry about. An older dog can have many of this type of tumors. The best way to know if they are indeed fatty tumors, is by touching them: if they can be "picked" up, and moved around, then they're fatty tumors. If the bumps can't be moved around, and feel hard, then they are usually cancer, and you need to get a biopsy done.
All that I said so far is for bumps that are located under the skin.
If they are above the skin, then they could be an allergic reaction, flea problem, mange, and/or a fungus. For these you need to get a skin scraping done on your dog by a vet, to identify the cause, and the best way to treat it.
Hope all is well with your dog! Good luck!

I have a Mini Schnauzer and they are prone to what is called "Schnauzer Bumps".... and yes these are like pimples with no heads. They are little bumps (some about a1/4 inch in size) and usually appear from the shoulder blades to the tail. in any amount 1 or 2 to several. They feel like a little ball under the skin but if you squeeze them there is no fluid or puss. and they do not change..... when I got my first schnauzer she had them at 10 weeks old and I got a bit scared. they usually will go away on their own within 2-4 weeks and I find they are usually caused by stress in the dogs life resulting in some sort of change...... (food, surroundings, other animals ????) my dog was bump free until she had her puppies recently and they appeared again. They have since disappeared...... If you go to some of the Miniature Schnauzer Web sites they may have additional information on these bumps. What type of dog food do you use as well, Your dog may have developed an allergy to the food you use.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://tinyurl.im/Y8L76

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

This same thing happened to my sister's Amstaff. He is allergic to corn and he ate some food with corn in it and he got bumps all over. She took him to the vet and they gave him a shot (of benadryl I think) and she just made sure he didn't get into that food after that.

Sounds like your dog has allergies too. Possibly from her food. Try switching her to a food that is free of common allergens such as: corn, beef, wheat, eggs, milk, chicken, and soy. Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance has a special line of allergy formula dog foods. You could try that.

Another common allergen in dogs is fleas. Check her for that and if you don't have a good flea and tick control medication for her already you might need to buy one.

Also, you could give her plain Benadryl (no other drugs added). I believe the dosing is 1 mg per pound, but you should call your vet to confirm this.

Answer 6

My dog had the same problem...the vet said they were most likely allergy bumps from something, but if you notice them growing or changes in appearance, you may want to have her taken to the vet to make sure they are not tumors...good luck and happiness to the pup!

Answer 7

Dog training techniques are as controversial as abortion, Palestine and Bill O'Reilly. But, which dog training techniques can you trust to get you out of the dog house? It will help if you think about dog training techniques as being in one of two categories: balanced and imbalanced.

The discussion about which dog training technique to use when training a dog is one that resembles a discussion between an Israeli and a Palestinian. Each one seems absolutely certain of their position and is more than ready to vilify those who don't share their views on dog training. But, if you look at dog training techniques and methods and evaluate their worth and effectiveness based on whether the approach is balanced, it's a lot easier to weed out the garbage.

For the most part, trainers and their methods fall into two main categories. Those who do not use a physical consequence as a deterrent and those who do. There are many variations in the methods used by different trainers however, almost all trainers fall into one category or the other. Some trainers use food as a reward and never allow the dog to experience a negative consequence for a poor choice. Other trainers afford the dog the opportunity to experience a consequence for making poor choices.

The Use Of Food:

Using food is great in the sense that you will probably have a very happy dog on your hands when he realizes that the training comes with an all-you-can-eat buffet. However, using food to train your dog has some pitfalls we think you should be aware of.

Food is great if you just want to impress your guests with a couple silly pet tricks but, in the real world, your dog will probably be much more interested in chasing the cat than hanging around to get your silly, dry biscuit. So, if you are using food as the primary or sole motivator, you're in for some disappointment when it comes time for your dog to perform in the real world.

Strictly Positive Reinforcement:

It is not difficult to find trainers who will tell you they use a kinder, gentler method than those used by consequence and reward trainers. They will tell you that your dog will be emotionally destroyed by the use of correction as a deterrent. Their goal is to sell you on their loving approach to dog training. They would have you believe that their method is much better than those old, barbaric correction methods.

If you try to train your dog with a method of training that is as imbalanced as this, you will be in for some serious disappointments. Sure, it sounds like a great idea; training your dog and never having to correct him for making a poor choice. Never having to do the very thing you like doing the least. However, no matter how distasteful the concept of physical consequence is to you, it is necessary if you want a really good dog. You cannot consistently praise a dog when he does something right and never give him a consequence for doing something wrong, and expect him to turn out balanced.

Consequence And Reward:

In some cases, dog training methods that involve physical consequence as a deterrent cause additional problems. Not by virtue of the fact that the dog received a physical consequence for his poor choice, but because the training was too harsh, improper, or the balance between consequence and reward was not achieved. A bad trainer can destroy any good training system. It is far from true that methods using consequence as a deterrent will result in a fearful dog. It all depends on the skill of the trainer, the manner in which the dog is corrected and the balance between consequence and reward.

Dog training techniques and methods that use a healthy balance between consequence and reward are without doubt, the most effective, healthy training techniques you can use. It is important to remember that consequence in NEVER connected to emotion while reward is always given with sincerity and love.

Answer 8

It sounds most like an allergy, either to diet or fleas.
If your dog has NO fleas (even one can cause an allergic reaction) then corn and wheat are the most common culprits in dog food.

Answer 9

its probably tumors but many dogs get little tumors that dont really affect them.

Answer 10

That could be anything from insect bites to tumors. Please can you add a little bit more detail to your question?
