My Miniature Schnauzer has a sore on his head that began as a ';pimple'; and is now bloody with puss.?

I washed the area and applied polysporin after I squeezed out the puss. Is this a normal skin occurance for mini's?My Miniature Schnauzer has a sore on his head that began as a ';pimple'; and is now bloody with puss.?
No this is not a normal occurrence for any dog. And anything that is not normal should be vet checked.





Please take him to the vet because if it is an infection it will need specialised treatment.





Untreated infections can become very serious very quicklyMy Miniature Schnauzer has a sore on his head that began as a ';pimple'; and is now bloody with puss.?
take it to the vet
No! it should have been vet checked! If it doesnt look a lot better by tomorrow I'd have your vet look at it before it get's very infected!
vet
you should take it a vet it sound nasty
It sounds like it could be a spider bite. My dog had the samething happen to him. I have worked as an asistant vet for about two years so I give my own dogs thier shots. Well anyway I gave my dog a shot of penicillin which help heal it over night. You can get it at a farm store,or feed store. Even if it is not a spider bite it will still boost your dog's healing quicker. They already have a fast healing process, but sometimes they need a bit more help. It will also stop infection even if it already begun. It will not harm your dog. depending on the size of your dog 1cc should be enough. If very large 2cc's. Make sure your suringe needle is a no.2
