Noticed my dog’s skin tag is red and a little bit inflamed after he wouldn’t stop scratching himself
I was trying to sleep when I noticed my dog kept scratching which is weird bc he does sometimes scratch himself, but he keeps getting up all of a sudden to scratch the same 2 spots. I finally got him to stop and I looked at the spot he’s scratching at, and it happens to be where he has a small skin tag. It has never been red and inflamed like this before, so I’m not sure what happened. The small area around it also looks kinda of patchy red, and the second spot where he’s scratching looks similar. He’s otherwise not scratching himself anywhere else. I don’t think he’s been scratching at it for that long, I’d say it‘s been a couple days that he’s been scratching but I hadn’t noticed how frequently he started doing it.
Could it be that something but him in those spots and he’s irritated it? Or maybe he’s having allergies? I’m not sure but it freaked me out bc his skin tag has never looked like that before. Any help would be appreciate!
