OMG is it a cyst?!

Thankyou all so much for encouraging me to wash bloos face.
I washed and dryed it and started to brush it out, when i came across a huge black lump by his top lip. I started to pull away to lack stuff, which is sticky and icky and underneath is a pinky orange blob that is discharging. Im trying to get rid of all the black icky so i can bathe it.
Its like a scabby thing, its orange and pink coloued little lump which when i touch it its all icy like glue.

Im going to have to get the vet to loook, to make sure its not anything major.

when i pull the black icky stuff more of the skin opens! Its a big bl;ob sticking out hi skin. Im home alone mom is out asnd i have no idea what it is and i dont wnt to mess with it too much because it looks painful
Mom has phoned back, Bloo is in the vets at 5pm tonight Will let you know what happens :)
I think its some sort of boil/cyst thing, it looks as if its gonna pop ewww...
Poor Bloo!!!! Fingers crossed.
Poor bloo hope his ok xx
Maybe it's the evil trying to come out :sidestep:

Let us know what the vet say. Hang in there Bloo, Sam will take care of you buddy!

Hoping Bloo feels okay. I'ld just leave it alone until the vet has a look at it. Our Molly has had numerous cysts over the years. Let us know what it is.
Gotta agree with Vance, that's just his evil trying to get out! Maybe he'll be easier to train if the evil gets out, haha :lol:

Seriously though, I hope things go well for you at the vet!
He is OK! :D

The vet lifted his top lip and noticed a hole on the other side.
Something has either gone straight through (like a thorn) or somethings bitten him. It isnt the cat because the nail; would still be in.
Im thinking maybe that dog i told you about at agility maybe bit him which made bloo turn.
The black icky stuffis blood clots.
I dont w when or how it happened he hasnt yelped or anything.

Anyway he has antibiotics to take for a week to make it better :) He is ok thats alll that matters
:cheer: well done Bloo, you are very brave. Sheepies dont tell you about these things thats the trouble. Now yorkies are so different Tilly gets a leaf stuck to her tummy and she hits the deck! Glad he is ok xx
Glad Bloo is okay. It's so scary when our babies have something wrong and we don't know what it is. I was hoping it was his evil coming out but I guess he'll just need to stay the same old Bloo.
So glad Bloo will be okay!!
Good news that you got it checked out and he's going to be all better soon :D
Awww if I got a thorn through my lip I would of screamed like a banishie! Well done bloo for being tough and well done Sam for spotting it. One of the bad things with a hairy breed is you dont.always spot things
Sorry about Bloo...too bad about the evil thing. :)
Glad to hear Bloo will be okay!

Cindy
I'm glad Bloo is ok. Brave boy.
Sorry to hear about his cut, OES can be the sweetest non complaining dogs so I am not surprised you didn't find it until grooming.
This time of year it could well be a blackthorn, especially if he has his nose in everything!
The antibiotics have ended. Thank goodness, its been so hard giving bloo 2 huge tablets twice a day for a week! :P Anyway, he still has the scar (little yellow hard lump) and still a smalhole underneath but its healing.
He isnt crying or anything which is why i dont have a clue when or how it happened. Bloo doesnt yelp when hes in pain so its extremely difficult to tell with him, and because his face is so yuck its hard to tell.
Must have been something pretty sharp to get through the thick fur and through thte skin
Maybe he wanted a Body piercing
I'm so glad Bloo is OK and that you were able to get him to a vet quickly :)
