I have a 4 and a half year old mad cross staffie/boxer who 4 months ago was kicked by a horse. He suffered bruising and a collapsed lung but recovered well and quickly too.
Since then he has developed small red lumps that pop up all over his body and others that seem to be deeper under the skin. Some change shape , some disappear, others pop up in the course of an hour or so. The vet believes they are like blood blisters - blood collecting at the site of an injury. He has one inside his mouth - at the back on the right hand side.
He is gradually going off his food (I wonder if the lump in his mouth is painful?) so I have swapped it. He did not eat at all yesterday but has had some today.
He has had several unexplained nose bleeds and sometimes will be completely lame in a leg but the next day the leg is fine.
He has had blood tests done and he has a slow clotting time. He has also been tested for lungworm and whilst the test was negative , we are still treating him for it.The vet is thinking possibly a type of hemophilia. I just wondeered if anyone else had any ideas? He is my wonderful mad best friend and some days he is so in pain its heart breaking - and hours later he's back to 100%.
