Me again with another not so grooming question, lol.
My Fila puppy who is now almost 8 months old has a bunch of sore pockets on her chin near her mouth. If I squeeze at them they do burst and one actually had two little hairs in it so I'm guessing they were ingrown hairs as I've heard Filas are especially prone to that?? My other thought is that it's an infection from bites but she doesn't have puncture wounds, however my cocker and my chihuahuas hang from her mouth when they are playing. I am calling the vet first thing on Monday but wanted to know if anyone has had a similar problem. Like I said I'm thinking they are infected/ingrown hair follicles. Some of the area still has hair the other is bald an looks like a scar and the whole thing feels swollen and or full of puss and blood. I just noticed the extent of it today or she would have gone to the vet sooner.
