My golden retriever has 3 small white hard white cyst like on his jowls,can someone help me?

HI! these small pimple like things are usually caused by the bowls your feeding your Golden out of. If they are plastic or ceramic then that's what is causing them. These types of bowls collect bacterial and infect the hair follicles on the dogs mouth.


Get some stainless steel bowls and wash them every day, or run them through the dish washer.


For now you can call your vet and have them either perscribe a cream to clear it up or have your Golden seen by your vet.





Hope this helps!

Reply:My Springer used to have something that sounds the same and they were warts, he had quite a few around his mouth and jowls and they were fine unless he caught them and then he bled like a pig. They don't usually remove them unless they become a problem with catching them.


Still might want to take him to a vet because it's hard to be sure without seeing them.
Reply:It could be a salivary gland cyst. You need to take your dog to the vets, in the meantime, check your dog for hot spots and bathe your dog in luke warm water. ( if your dog is chewing all the time and itching, it can be the cause)Make sure your dog is drooling okay, and use a warm compress and apply it to the cyst to see if it will break out of the skin. Don't force it, just do it gently to see if its like a zit. if it pops, swab it with a q-tip and save the swab in a ziploc bag and take it to the vets so they can test it.
