Skin Rash in Dogs

My 5 month old puppy has red splotchy ares on his inner thighs and tummy. It doesn't seem to bother him much. But now its flakey and has pimple like bumps. Is this serious? My sister said it could be a food allergy. I'm going to trying changing his food over. I want to know if I should take him in or just wait?

Hello, my baby Goldie just put to birth, she is a nursing Mum but I’m concerned because she’s looking really skinny and she has been having red rashes all over her body. I also noticed she really itches and licks her paws these days, what can I do? Her babies are 4 weeks and all beautiful!☺️ But I want my baby to be comfortable again, thank you.

My dog has a rash like prickly heat all over him. He has just finished a course of steroids for this but now that she’s finished the rash is back again and I am at the end of my thethdr as to what’s causing it. I have been to the vet on numerous occasions but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. The minute the tablets stop the rash returns.

Our Yorkie Pom mix has red, irritated areas mostly under his front legs in the "armpit area". It's also got black areas as well, with him itching constantly. Any ideas for home treatment or does he need a vet visit?

My 11 lb. rescue has developed a few days ago, a rash under her neck of small, smooth grey spots - she is a long-haired white Jack Russel mix. It doesn't appear to bother her. I plan to take her to the vet if it doesn't go away soon.

My Brittany has sensitive skin. Overnight she developed five rings on her skin in her lower stomach and inner thigh. They are dark around the edges and lighter pink in the middle. They have a small pinprick dot in the middle. The rings are flush with her skin and do not seem to be bothering her. She does not like to spend much time laying down outdoors. Yesterday, she walked in tall grass and spent some time with me in a large campground shower, in a changing area. She did not lay down in that area. The spots are not scaly

My dog has a very red rash on his upper arm. He’s been liking it non stop for weeks now but I never saw anything. Today he came in limping and crying and his rash looks really red and swollen. I’m taking him to the vet tomorrow, but what do you think it might be ? He’s also barely eating and seems down.

My dog seems to have a rash that is on both of his inner thighs and on his stomach the only thing I am very worried about is his health but I don't know how much it will cost if it will be hundreds. His rash has seemed to grow and is now a bright red. His rash does not have any "blisters" or "pimples" the rash is smooth but red.

My 2 year old shepherd hound mix has a bad rash all over his inner thighs and on his back. I can see the raised bumps under his short fur. It does not seem very itchy but he does lick it a lot. They look like pimples. It looks horrible. We bathe him with dawn for fleas and he is on Trifexis. He eats dog chow dog food. Any idea how to treat this.

I have a 2 1/1 y.o pit bull mix with very sensitive skin. About a month ago I noticed bumps on her neck all the way around where her collar sat. She has a cloth collar and when she was on a leash a metal prong collar. Since then she hasn't worn a collar at all. For about 2 weeks the bumps on her neck were a bit like wounds and bled. But I used an antiseptic spray and kept the area very clean (no collar). The bumps seemed to have healed but she has lost a little hair in that area. Even though it no longer seems like there are wounds the bumps are still present. I haven't gone to the vet yet because she seems completely unbothered by this. I also called our vet when I first noticed it and they said not to bring her in unless it got worse because it would heal on it's own and was probably irritation from her collar so to keep that off. I've done that and it does seem to have gotten better, however, it isn't fully healed and I'm not sure what to do.

My puppy has a rash under both her armpits, I'm not sure if it's because of her harness or something else. I know that she has sensitive skin and a sensitive stomach. The skin is red and irritated. She's been itching a bit more than usual and has even scratched some areas raw.

Circular, with multiple bite sites

My puppy Pixel is now about 5 months old and around 35 pounds. For the past few weeks hes been dealing with severe biting and scratching with noticeable hair loss and multiple spots where hes bit or scratched too hard. The cause could be to do with fleas, which I'm aware he has and have tried multiple things to get rid of them aka flea baths, oatmeal baths, fleas collar, etc. I'm finally bombing my house to get ride of them all and need to find the best method of removing them from him in the mean time, as well as something to prevent or soothe the itching and treat the rash. Any tips or things I should try? I'm on a very low budget I'm only 21 and in school.

My 7 year old Shih Tzu male has a large red rash under his neck. I first noticed a hard scab a couple of days ago and noticed him itching it a lot. Then the day after it was a weeping bright red sore about the size of a small plum. I’m not sure if he itched the scab off but it looks very sore and weeping a little. I’ve put anticeptic on it but he won’t really let you go anywhere near it as it must be painful. I use a vet prescribed flea treatment (I also have a female Shih Tzu) and can’t see any fleas. He is eating and playing normally. Please help.

Hi! My 3-year-old chi weenie developed a red rash under her neck two days ago. I made plans to take her to the vet the next morning, but when I woke up her rash looked like it was completely gone. upon further inspection, it looks like there are still some bumps there, but they are now yellowish in color. We live in a suburban area and she only really comes in contact with my parents dog, which they got a few months back. It seems like she doesn’t even notice the rash and isn’t in pain or itching it.

what is the causes of itchiness and redness of my american bully pet?and my dog keep on scratching and scratching on his neck part...and some on his forehead................................................................................................................................

My dog Sadie has pimple like rash that is red. I have tried hydro cortizon and anti-biotic ointments. She scratches at it and chews on her feet also. I put a cone around her neck and have been giving her benedryl to ease the itching. It's not as red but the bumps will not go away and are spreading up from her rear belly up closer to her chest.

My boyfriends dog has a horrible rash all over it and pussy, thickened and raised skin, ver flakey and smells like and old dirty sock. He recently gave her a bath and is now covered in a rash that is bright red and blotchy and is itchy and burning. Could this have been contracted from the dog?

Our Lab has been stumbling recently and he has a strange rash on his neck. They did blood work but nothing showed up. I know humans need a special test for Lyme disease, do dogs.

My dog is roughly 5 months old. She is a Shih Tzu / Yorkshire terrier mix. I recently noticed a small patch of dark pink/red skin near between her nose and eye area where her tears (very minimal form). This area is wet more often then not from the tears and eating meals. I'm wondering if the nature of the area being moist more often than not is causing this small rash and flaky irritated skin. I also used the Tropiclean brand face cleaning foam to clean her face area without a wash. It's only in one area of her body and one side of her nose/eye area. We wash about 2 times per week and use Hypo-Allergenic Tropiclean Soap and Espree Dead Sea Mud Bath to reduce any dryness. We live in Las Vegas where it can be hot and dry. Is there a topical that I can purchase? Is this something we should see the vet for ASAP? Any all natural remedies? Any advise would be GREATLY appreciated.

my pup is suffered by rashes how to solve thatand what to do now..............................................................................................................

My puo seems to react to the new easy walk leash.the part that wraps around her ribcage has caused rashes on her skin under the armpit. She does not feel itchy though. The rashes look red and the skin uneven.

my boxer has a rash under neck where his collar is. We took off collar and there is some blood and very dry rough rash skin. Is there a topical over the counter I can put on it? He gets into everything and we are having work done on our home so who knows what he came in contact with.

My 2 year old chihuahua Luna has a rash all over her body. It is really bad on her stomach and butt. She is constantly scratching, biting, and chewing on herself.some of her skin is real rough and she has sores behind her ears that are really rough when looking at it.

My dog has rashes on her belly and there are also skin patches on her joints, she’s been scratching like crazy. The vet recommended using hydrogen peroxide on her rashes but it doesn’t seem to work. We have also seen ticks on her, what should I do to treat both conditions?

My puppy just ended his Antibacterial medicine and still suffering from itchiness. Is it okay to bathe him with Madre de Cacao soap every day? He will turn two months this January 20, 2018. I was really worried about his condition.

My pup has been itching like crazy. I bathed Her in oatmeal soap tonight because she was spayed 2 weeks ago. I notices A few red patches on her skin the past week, but she wasn’t itching those areas. Tonight after the bath she was laying down and i saw MORE patches. She doesn’t seem to act like they are bothering her, but she tends to scratch other places. It’s making me a bit nervous because i dont Want my baby to be uncomfortable.

My dog has skin rashes on her belly and we have also seen fleas. She has been scratching too much and is already losing hair on her joint areas. My vet recommended using hydrogen peroxide on the belly but it doesn’t seem to work, what shoul I do to treat both conditions? I’ve been using anti flea shanpoo and powder for the past two days. We only got her 3 days ago.

Where/how can dogs pick up bacterial infections? Started under armpits as red rash. Spread to belly as red pustules, some whiteheads. Go to a dog park. Run, wrestle, play every morning with another dog. They also play in kiddie pool some days, which we fill fresh before playtime. No contact with pond, stagnant water, etc. Near Lake Erie so humid. Go at 6:30-8:30 am to miss the 85-95 degree weather, typically 70-75 at that time. Found out yesterday that other dog now has rash. And we remembered noticing another dog he played with there also had a rash a month ago. Haven't played with her in the last month as going earlier to beat the heat. Run, wrestle, play with her but no kiddie pool. No itching or licking at all so don't think an allergy. Comb every day, never found a flea, tick, or mite (our dog takes a 3 mo. Bravecto, will be switching to Credelio next week for unrelated reasons). May be some hair loss, hard to be sure as shedding a lot, hence the daily brushing. Went to vet 3 days ago and got Cephalexin, she thought bacteria most likely. In 3 days of taking it, pustules starting to be drying up. In visit to vet she asked if played in a pond, always wash off with fresh water. We do take a wet towel with a little of his shampoo, followed by a wet towel, then dry towel just to take off and mud, saliva, and wetness from dew or pool.
Just wondering now about going back to park when this clears up. Since all 3 dogs have on bellies, does that mean bacteria contacted from dewy grass or, if from drinking water, could a certain strain of bacteria just manifest itself on the belly only? Best chance a bacteria could be caught from the grass from laying/wrestling? Or from water in pool (even though 3rd dog never was in pool, at least not when we were there with her.
If coming from water there, could a bacteria in water just drank (maybe a little slopped on another dog like the 3rd one from shaking mouth or play with wet mouth after drinking). Water for drinking/pool comes from a metal pipe with bent spigot. Although on the other half of park where we played with the third dog about a month ago there was a hose attached we had to use to dispense water that couldn't be removed by hand. So we did flush the hose with fresh before filling the bowl or pool. Have searched here and at many other sites and can't find any clues as to where the bacteria is coming from so we could make a change so as to not contract it again. If not, we have to stay away, even though he now expects the daily run or socialization.

My shi tzu is scratching under is neck, and now the skin looks irritated and either a dark drown or red hard to tell because of the color of his fur. He just got a grooming but this never hapoened before.

My dog has a rash looks kind of like a rug burn maybe, it’s under one of his hind legs in the pit area. I noticed it about two weeks ago and thought I would just keep an eye on before making an appointment with our vet. Anything I could do at home for it?

Took my dog in to vet for rash that bled and has red bumps and hair loss where bumps are. Scraped areas and did not find mange on slides. He is 7 months old and this developed after going to dog park. Roundish bumps and bald areas on top of head and right side of muzzle that seem to be spreading slowly...some scratching, but not a lot. What could it be?

My dog's skin is thickening in certain places. It started around her hips and now is up one side of her back. It's like small patches of thick skin. She's not itchy or is presenting any other symptoms besides thickened skin. It seems to be slightly red in the area where the skin is thick. It almost feels like running your hand over a bunch of soft scabs, or zits, with fur over it.

I have an 8 month old female German Shepard and she keeps scratching, licking and biting herself on her back area and her stomach area. I have checked her for flees or ticks and she doesn't have any. Also on her belly area, her skin is irritated and red. I had a bought her a spray(Richard's Organics Incredible Skin Spray for Dogs) for her skin but it doesn't seem to be working. I am feed her dry dog food(Nutro Wholesome Essentials Large Breed Puppy Farm Raised Chicken, Brown Rice & Sweet Potato Recipe Dry Dog Food). Is there any pills, lotions, shampoos, or food you can recommend for her skin condition.
