    pink little tube like on dogs leg?

    Not even sure what this is. At first I thought it was an engorged tick on our dogs leg. I have seen them before where they looked like a grey little worm. I thought thats what this was, but its pink. When I tried to remove it it will not come out, it pulled out a bit, but now looks like a little pink worm? is it possible its a parasite? I plan to pring him to the vet either way to be sure. Ill try and get a picture

    Could it be a skin tag? How big is it? I guess you could do a google image search and see if it looks like any of those. Otherwise I don’t have any suggestions.

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

    it could be a skin tag. just really tiny. I tried to pull it thinking it was a tick, but its clearly not coming off without causing more pain then I want to.

    I prefer all weird growths checked by a vet just for peace of mind. You never know with these lumps and bumps and best when caught early.

    Dan has something that could fit that description on his inner thigh....been there for years. I knew it was a "nothing", never disturbed it, vet called it a wart though I thought "skin tag".

    I would "guess" skin tag too, I have seen them like that. But your Vet would be the best, to actually see it and feel it in person.

    Probably a skin tag. Our old girl used to have one that looked like a worm.

    turns out it was a tick that was wedged into a newly formed callus that was forming on his elbow. The next morning it calmed down and I was able to see it more clearly. Going to the Vet today just confirm there is nothing else going on there
