A blister on a dog's skin.We recently shaved our Chow Chow and we found a clear blister under her coat, on her left shoulder. As you can see, it is rather large. It doesn't appear to be a pimple or have any pus inside, and I think that cysts are usually skin colored. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks for the advice. I did a bit of research online and also contacted a friend that works for a veterinarian. We think it is a apocrine sweat gland cyst.

"Single, round, smooth nodules with no hair; may appear bluish; usually filled with a watery liquid; most common on head, neck, and limbs."

It sounds like they are not a cause for concern unless they change size rapidly or cause the dog discomfort. It has gotten smaller and seems to be absorbing itself, but I'm still I am going to talk to the vet during our next appointment.

Here is a more recent picture.

I have an English Bulldog and he's had the pinkish red bump on his neck when he was a puppy. I know it gets irritated here and there but he has small clearish bumps near it and I have no idea what it is.

If anyone had a similar case or maybe knows what this could be before I reach out to my vet

Since he has had this for a long time and it now seems to be getting worse, this may be the time to take him to his vet.
However, vet visits are usually very costly so you might want to check out one of the virtual vets that are popping up online and usually only charge a small portion of an actual vet visit.

Your vet may also have this service so check that out first.

Chewy has a highly recommended service but may not be available in all states.

You can provide some comfort while waiting for your visit by adding a small portion of Epsom salts to warm water and gently wiping the spot with a clean cloth dipped in this solution.
If the spot is not 'raw-looking', you can make the Epsom salt heavier and it will draw out some of the irritation but do not add too much if there are bright red areas as it tends to draw strongly.
Start with a less strong solution.
You can also lay the wet cloth over the spot and leave it for a few minutes.
