Cyst?

I was trying to clip Tank's nails today when I noticed a pimple-like bump on his far back nail bed. The nail bed looks like it might have bled a little bit. I've starting giving him 2 bynadryl today. But I'm worried that I might need to take him into the vet? He's eating and drinking normally, the only thing abnormal is he's licking his paw a bit. The picture kinda sucks, but he hates his paws messed with and wouldn't hold still.

It's hard to see, but it's towards the top.

 

Also! We played ball before we decided to trim nails. He was so ready to go inside!

Hurry up mom!

I don't know either.

Maybe it will pop on its on. If its still there in a few days or he starts to mess with it and it and it bothers him then I would call the vet. You might call and see if you can e-mail them the picture.

sorry, too hard to tell from the photo.....but

I'd also like to comment that he is sooo ador-a-BULL!   If whatever "it" is looks red and maybe full of pus, you could always

soak his paw in warm water and Epsom salts......that's what we do for Meaty's interdigital cysts.  IF nothing else, the

warm water would feel nice, and the Epsom won't hurt him....good luck!

he's too cute!!!....archie's paws got red often too and wouls always lick them which his vet had said was a sign of allergies...the bump might be anything but try to keep his paws clean as often as possible...

Man, is he cute or WHAT?!

Can't really tell what the bump is.  It kind of looks like a blister.  Have you tried to "pop" it?  If he doesn't like you messing with his foot, this might be hard, but if it looks like a blister, I'd try to get the liquid out and then slather it with Polysporin to disinfect.  And then try to prevent him from licking it  :)
