What's the matter with a hard bump on Teddy's neck?

A hard bump on Teddy's neck may be caused by reasons such as vaccination, trauma, or parasites, etc. It is necessary to find the cause and then treat it accordingly. When the liquid injected into Teddy is not absorbed, a hard bump may occur. In this case, you can choose to apply heat. It may also be caused by skin tissue infection due to trauma, in which case you need to deal with the wound as soon as possible. Furthermore, it could be due to parasite bites, requiring regular deworming for Teddy and ensuring a clean environment.

Firstly, it may be due to vaccination. When Teddy receives a vaccination, a hard bump may occur at the neck area due to the injection being absorbed slowly. It is also possible that the drug is injected into the skin instead of under the skin, which causes the drug to be absorbed slowly, resulting in a hard bump. If it is caused by poor drug absorption, you can use a hot towel for heat therapy.

Secondly, it may be caused by trauma to the skin tissue on Teddy's neck, resulting in fluid accumulation. You need to observe if there are any other wounds on Teddy's body and deal with them promptly. If it is just a hard bump, it may be due to the wound healing with a scab. In this case, you don't need to worry too much. You can first trim the hair around the wound, then rinse it with physiological saline, and disinfect it with alcohol and iodine.

Lastly, it may also be caused by parasites such as fleas or ticks. These external parasites can cause hard bumps on Teddy's body. You should always give your dog deworming medication on time. You can use external deworming products containing ingredients such as non- praziquantel and selenium sulfide to remove external parasites like fleas and ticks, such as Frontline and Revolution.同时，也要注意进行体内驱虫。
