Hey everyone,

I have an appointment for my boy on the 9th cause I saw this lump on his side but now it seems like it was bleeding but it’s dried even though I couldn’t find any blood anywhere, just wondering if I should call and see if I can get an emergency appointment instead?

Is it swollen? Hot? Is there a lump underneath it?

Is the dark stuff a scab, or could it be some sort of skin lesion (like a wart)?

Yes it’s a lump I noticed last week when I made the vet appointment but that dark stuff was not there till last night so I think it’s a scab. Not hot and hasn’t grown since last week and I can feel underneath it like it’s not stuck. My boys doesn’t flinch or even seem bothered when I touch it as well.

Then I'd see a vet. It's probably not worth trying to find an emergency vet, but you could ask your vet if they could work you in earlier.

How long has the hair loss been there?

By the way, I would read this over. If it is not infected, not likely an emergency but does likely need removal.
