My dog has small white bumps on her back. Are they whiteheads? What to do?

Question

My dog has a seed-like white bump on her back, she has another one, but they’re really small. She hasn’t had any health problems, and I’m wondering if it’s a whitehead? What should I do about this? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

Hello. Without a picture, it is really difficult to advise what to do except to see your veterinarian at your next convenience. This does not sound like anything serious, pets can get a variety of lumps, bumps & cysts, very few of which are serious or dangerous. But they should be pointed out to your vet. Just do not do any poking or squeezing as you could invite a pretty good infection if you are not careful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
