My dog has a large mole on her genital area and she keeps biting on it!?
I have a female dog who is about 6 years old. About a year and a half ago, i noticed a pink mole on her outer genital area which looked like the same texture as the skin around it. (It’s not like i was being all weird and inspecting her "area" down there, her tail sticks up so it’s clearly visible). Anyway, about 2-3 days ago, i noticed the mole had grown about double, almost triple in size and looked like it had a smoother shiny texture to it… like if you poked a needle in it, it would burst… sorry for the gross graphic description… today, she keeps biting and licking down there and now it is bleeding! i am extremely worried and am unsure what to do. I am in between jobs right now and have absolutely no extra money whatsoever for a vet visit right at this moment. has anyone experienced this with their dog(s) before? if so, please let me know what happened and if it could possibly be life threatening? thanks.

Your dog is being irritated by something; whether it’s something stuck in there that’s causing a local reaction, a benign growth or something more sinister, having no money is just no excuse for not taking her to a vet.
You will not find out whether or not it is something to worry about until you see a vet, and there are establishments out there who will see animals whose owners suffer financial hardship. In the meantime, discourage her from aggravating it, and you could bathe it with warm, very dilute saltwater if it’s irritated or discharging. But other than that, a growth that changes shape needs checking out by a vet. Without question.
im sure its like us humans. if you keep scratching a bump it bleeds. just try getting a wet towel and cover up the bleeding.
