My senior Yorkie has a blistered lump. Can it be treated affordably?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | unspayed | 9 lbs

My friend is disabled and her yorkie is around eleven years old. She doesn't have money for a vet but her dog has a big lump and now it looks like it has a blister on it. Is it something that can be taken care of or is there no guarantee. I don't have a lot of money but if it's something that can be fixed without costing a arm and leg I would help her out.

This doesn't look good, but I can't diagnose it from a picture or say for sure that it is something that can be taken care of. The issue is though, she cannot be left like this. It's not fair to Nibbles, and she really has to see a vet as soon as possible. I strongly urge you to have your friend take her into one.
