Any online vets?

Is there any vets on here?

I have a couple of pics of a lump on my dog, they look like little warts but would just like some advice without it costing me a bomb? If so il stick them on here...

Also what is the treatment of skin warts?

Thanks

    you arent allowed to ask for medical advice on here
    call your vets
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire
  • Really - why not?? Vets feel free to PM me then.

    Because how do u know they are actually vets?
    Anyone can PM you and pretend to be a vet.
    Believe me, you get weirdos like that on the internet!

    Nope - you can't ask for advice like that on here - and anyway, no vet worth their salt will answer you anyway! A full clinical exam and history is needed before diagnosis.
    Get down your local vets

    I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

    A consultation fee outside of London should run to £35 or less. You need to see a vet if you are worried
  • Please take your dog to a Vet asap. Lumps of any sort need looking at, how can anyone give you a diagnosis without a physical examination. So do your dog a favour and visit your local Vet.

    By the way it is part of responsible pet ownership to ensure your pet receives appropriate medical treatment and that you have the funds in place to provide this, and also the right attitude to wish to provide it in the first place.

    Take your dog to a veterinary surgery, ask their appointment protocol, and follow it. And pay your bill. In full. You are responsible for your dogs care.

    Best of luck to you and your dog.

    If I found lumps on my pet then you couldn't keep me away from the vet - I'd be banging on the door as soon as they were open......... why aren't you?

    You owe it to your animal to seek medical advice - if you can afford to buy and run an iphone (as discussed in your previous posts) then you can afford to go to a professional for advice..... it's all about priorities.
    :hello:
  • I just got the online idea after seeing some online vet thing where you send them pics & they look at it etc.

    Never mind - Il just take him the vets tomorrow. Not an issue.
