Hi all. Lulu had developed a small bloody lump on her ear but we can't get into the vet's for a few days yet. I don't think it is anything sinister as our last cocker Ziggy had one same place which the vets removed and everything was OK. But with Ziggy we could put bandages, plasters, or baby socks on her to stop her licking or scratching and nothing would not bother her. But with Lulu she is completely different she will not have anything on her body that should not be there LOL. So is there anything I could put on her ear that would she would not like the taste of without harming her. She paws her ear where the lump is then licks her paw this goes on for hours, and if she has been laying on her ear she will continue to lick the area she has been laying on. She will let us touch the lump so I dont think it hurts, it must be giving a smell / taste of that gets transferred to her paw.
