Question

I noticed my puppy had a large pimple like bump on his stomach/genital region. Do I need to bring him to a vet? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 20 days old | 127 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Harley. I do recommend that he sees a veterinarian. That is a larger bump than the average pustule or pimple. He could have a small mass that is growing or an infection under the skin. This time of year, insect bites are common as well. His veterinarian will evaluate the bump and may collect a sample of cells to evaluate under the microscope. I hope this information helps!
