My dog has had a little bump on his paw for almost 2 weeks now and it is growing and we have tried popping it but it just bleeds now it looks like it's infected. Pet's info: Dog | Great Dane | Male | neutered | 150 lbs

Oh no, poor Schiz! I would not pop this bump, as you will be introducing more bacteria into the area. I would have him seen by a vet if this bump looks infected. If it is infected, he will need antibiotics to treat the infection which the vet can prescribe.
