This will sound like a crazy question but I have to ask.
I have a 3 1/2 year old male who looks like he is sprouting horns (not literally) at the base of his topskull. There are 2 bumps exactly the same size in the same locations on either side of his head. It looks like a buck starting to sprout antlers (or a devil). He is fine otherwise - no sign of any bites or anything. The skin is not red or inflamed - just these two lumps. Of course, he is entered in shows this coming weekend and it looks so strange. I have given benedryl just in case it was a bite of some kind.
This made me chuckle! Mine get them all the time too. As my friends will tell you, I call them "antler buds"! Sometimes I use a Furminator or fine-toothed comb to brush them out a little. It seems to get out some of the short dense coat that builds up there.

I am glad I was able to provide some comic relief! I won't worry about them and will work on them with the Furminator. Hopefully judges this weekend will recognize them for what they are! He is not the devil incarnate - just the opposite! A very sweet guy.
