• Hi all,

    Jax has been staying with my sister over the last week because of my crazy work schedule. He just turned one. Starting today on day 4 at my sisters house he started getting these red bumps all over him. No changes in food, no known allergies, or medical conditions that may be causing this. He has been acting and eating nornally. No real changes, he is home now and it has only been a few hours but the bumps are still there. Hopefully someone can help me with what these may be?? I plan on taking him to the vet obviously but peace of mind in the meantime would be nice. There are about 15 bumps total, they are behind ears, above eyes, on shoulders, near genitals(not on), and on his knees. I am going to try to upload pictures.

  • I cannot get the pictures to upload. I keep getting an error, but they almost look like pimples without the head


  • Nick, she may use something in her yard or cleaning product. Try wiping him off completely or bathing, and give benedryl.


  • Hope things worked out. Might be chemicals but might also be an insect/spider bite. Would be interesting to know what the vet said.


  • @nick4 Sounds like an allergy or something biting him. For sure the vets and see what they say. Benadryl for sure, as far as I know it does no harm if you dose correctly.

    I have never had a vet not know what breed my dogs are, even though when I got my first one they did not have any others in the practice. My vet immediately began reading up. And when I gave her info, she listened. Foxtails can be very nasty and a vet that lives in an area with them should know you have to REMOVE IT before your dog will get better. So I join the others in begging you to get another vet.

    Benjis Mama, how is your dog? Has he recovered? Did he block again? And have you found any treatments or diet that seemed to help?

    Phoenix has had a rash like that before i went to the vet I figured a yeast infection is a yeast infection right weather in people or pets so i went and bought some "womans yeast infection meds" those bullet shaped things and just took it out of the wrapper and just rubbed it on his tummy alittle i rubbed it in and made sure he didnt lick at it the next morning the rash was just about gone went to the vet and she said that's what he had and to acaully just use what i did for a day or so and it should be gone it was a surface yeast infection and so as long as i just rubbed that stuff on like it was lotion he would be fine i applaied it 2 more times and it was gone he gets them from time to time and thats all i do it's a alot cheaper in the long run the stuff she said she was going to give me was going to cost me $67. plus the cost of the vet so i figured now i will just save the moeny and go spend 8 :) i would think there might be a problem using that if u have a dog that likes to try and lick it but phoenix could care less he just enjoyed his belly rub while i was rubbing it in :)
