Do Boxer Puppies have a knot on their head?
Dogs are man’s best friends indeed. For centuries they have served them as hunters, protectors and companions who provide comfort and amusement. However as masters, attention must also be given to the dogs well being. As different breeds are prone to a variety of genetically connected health issues, one must be ready to spot any telltale signs. Boxers are prone to having tumors and can emerge even as puppies.
A Boxer Puppy usually gets this “knot” on the top of its head. It can be tiny to the size of a golf ball and can also emerge on the back area covered with hair and shows above the skin. They are called dermoid cysts and can be a health risk if not examined or surgically removed by a veterinarian. Some may even be fatty or sebaceous cysts but whatever it may be, close medical examination is required and hopefully it isn’t cancerous.
Save money on vet bills! Do the basic health check yourself.
