Pimples? Bumps?

[xJazerx]

Dante went to the Kennel last weekend for 4 days, while my husband and I went to Sweden... when we got him home on Sunday night, I noticed little bumps on Dante's chin... figuring they were just a minor irritation from rubbing his chin on something, I took a mental note and kept an eye on them.... Now almost a week later, there hasn't been much change. They look slightly less irritated but still about the same, same size and all. I messaged the Kennel and asked if she noticed him rubbing his face on anything... Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be??

My Boxer has developed similar lesions on her side. They appear similar to what is on Dante's face, but I cannot say with 100% confidence that they are the same. My Vet informed me that the lesions are benign small cysts that are often seen in Boxers.

HuGs,

It could be pimples. How old is Dante? It can be an adolescent problem with boxers. Make sure that he is not eating out of plastic bowls as they harbor bacteria. Ceramic or stainless steel is best.

I would wash his face after every meal and hopefully it will clear up.

i was thinking puppy acne too.. maybe he got fed in plastif bowls...
Ox has that, each time he plays with rubber toys.. I cannot remove all his toys.. so he still has that, at 4 years of age

Thank you for the responses. He is just over a year old and has had stainless bowls since he was a puppy. I clean them regularly. He washes his face off every time he drinks water, LOL.. I refill his water about 5+ times a day so he always has clean water. He has never had this before so I feel like it was something at the kennel that irritated him.

Looks similar to Titans breakout of pimples. Titans were a lot worse, there were like 20 pimples across his chin. And he was the same age as Dante when they appeared.
