    What is wrong with my pitbull?
    My red nose pit-bull looks like there are veins popping out of her side, some are long and some are in a perfect circle what could this be?

    This is a dog question, not a "people" question and I have asked that it be moved.

    Can you describe the veins, where they are, in more detail?

    Photos will be necessary, I'm afraid. This could be as simple as a ringworm fungus infection or as complex as dislocated joints.

    My first thought was ring worms as well, but like every one mentioned, we need to see the "veins". Muscular dogs tend to show their veins in their forearms and hind quarters easily, especially after exercise.

    Its just on her side, from her head to her butt and its only on the sides, and I do think it might be worms because the vein looking things have moved in difference spots. I guess you could say they look like whelps. But we don't beat are dog. The veins has also taking different shapes but still are some in the perfect circle.

    Oh also she had a littler of puppies on V-Day and we all know that puppys has worms, and could have ate out of the same bowl.

    Yes your dog more than likely has worms. Have you taken mom and pups to the vet for their check up? If not I highly suggest you do. Having parasites can seriously harm the nutrition and well being of your pups as well as mom.

    What do I win for guessing maybe correctly:D
    I'm thinking lifetime membership with Bell and Shaz, in case I have a worm issue:cool:
