Haven't been paying much attention to the dogs that much since the little engel came. My boxer got bit by some ants and I thought this was just another one. It hasn't gone away however and bleeds every time I squeeze it. I think this is day 2. Been cleaning it a few times a day when I clean her busted stitches. Here are the pictures. It looks like 2 punctures but I don't know, I've only seen one snake in almost 5 years.

No, snake bite would not be my first thought. Looks more like an abscess, spider bite. Being a boxer if it doesn't improve consider skin tumor, such as mast cell tumor. I would shave the area so you can see and clean it better.

Cool, I was thinking spide bite first, but its bleeding from 2 spots.

She just had a skin stage removed that came back negative for cancer. That's the busted stitches we are trying to take care of.

Damn boxers are just full of energy, nothing stops her.

If it's on the hip it could be from rubbing the cement in its pen, if you have it on a slab.
