A Weird Growth on My Dog. Any Insight?
When I first saw it, it looked like another small paw pad was growing below the bigger one further up on her arm. A few days later it looked like it has burst open, almost in a flower type shape. The skin was hard at the edges and began falling off. ANOTHER small one appeared next to the first growth. After a couple weeks, it completely disappeared! Super weird. Everything that I looked up pointed to hyperkeratosis. I didn't get a chance to get her into the vet before it vanished.

I saw that when I was researching, and it didn't visually fit the description. The tissue was hard and resembled another paw pad, before it burst open. |

Re: A Weird Growth on My Dog. Any Insight?
they can do that, seen literally thousands of them. they can actually disappear. they can wax and wane. some are hard like a nodule, some are soft like are skin tag. Some times they get torn open by accident and can bleed like a stuck pig. Just dont look like a hyperkeratosis or could be hemangioma but those dont go away, without physically seeing it..just an educated guess on this side of the monitor.

oh, if it was to remain...usually a steroid shot can get rid of them them, if not, surgical intervention is needed.

It didn't bleed at all when it broke open. My son has a hemangioma. Not sure how it would look on a dog, but her lump looked nothing like what my son has.

My advice would be to take it to your vet... and get it put down.
