why would my dogs nipple grow?

Question

i have a male dog and oneday his nipple started to grow it is way to big now and i want no i need to know why

Answer 1

Why haven't you taken your dog to your vet? It could be cancerous.

Answer 2

This is a Vet visit required to make sure that this is some abnormalty of something, this could very well be a start of a TUMOR, in most case could just be big CIST inside the Nipple, Tumors can be common depending on the history and genetics, its best if it is to remove it as early as possible,

CIST, in the nipple can be a possibility, just give it a little sqeeze if something pops out than its a cist (ZIT) in the dogs nipple if so just keep pressing untill it all comes out

if the vet finds it as a tumor, and he removes it
i would suggest to get your dog on some vitamins that will prevent future tumors,

i use them and they have really suprised me

SHARK CARTILAGE [ Top ]
Contains collagen and glycosaminoglycans. This combination makes shark cartilage a powerful anti-inflammatory wound-healing agent that is non-toxic and has no known side-effects. It is also an effective substance against bacteria, virus and fungal infections, which stimulates the cellular and humoral components of our immune system.

There have been numerous studies demonstrating the ability of shark cartilage to shrink some cancerous tumors, including those unaffected by standard treatments. In order to grow, a tumor must establish its own blood vessel network for nourishment. Like all other living things, if the tumor is denied nourishment, it will die. Studies performed at the Massachussetts Institute for Technology have shown that shark cartilage contains a protein that impedes the formation of blood vessels to tumors.



hope this helps some

Answer 3

There could be an infection in it or under the skin.
It's called an abcess. Pus pools under the skin and causes swelling.

Blood pools like that too. It's called a hematoma. It's caused by injury. Even mild injuries can cause hematomas.

Older dogs have lumpy fat tumors
It could be any sort of tumor/cancer.

Basically, you need a vet ASAP. Fast treatment is needed for complete recovery.

Cheers.

Answer 4

Male dogs nipples should remain the same size once he's full grown. If it's just a single nipple, take him to the vet. It's probably just an infection of some sort.

Answer 5

Things that can be considered:
like stated by others: absesses, hematomas are quite common.
however, tumors are something not listed yet.

in any case: take him to the vet. hopefully, depending on breed of dog, like labs, most tumors are benign. but never take a chance. go and have it checked out. the sooner the better.

good luck!

Answer 6

Did you ever think to ask your vet this question? It could be a cancerous growth which will eventually kill him, then again it could be nothing. I doubt very much if anyone here knows the answer. Take him to the vet.

Answer 7

Could be an infection or some type of tumour, probably best to see your Vet.

Answer 8

Is it just one nipple? This doesn't sound normal. He needs to see the vet.

Answer 9

Answer 10
