Red rash on dog's tummy
by Linda
(Newport News, VA)
Yesterday I noticed a red rash on my dog's stomach and around her genitals down onto her back legs. It almost looks like pimples, as you can see from the attached picture. She doesn't scratch it or lick it and there doesn't seem to be any hair loss.
She is on Frontline Plus for fleas, etc., and heartworm preventative; I haven't seen any fleas or ticks on her so far this summer. She hasn't been spayed yet, but will be in late July.
She is a 4.5 month old Yorkshire Terrier puppy. Her appetite hasn't changed nor have I changed her food or any treats. Her behavior hasn't changed. She's a very, very active puppy.
There is a lot of ivy in my backyard where she goes to potty and she does go into the ivy. We live in an area that is mosquito infested and the temps right now are in the 90s.
