Title: what are thesse?
Post by: Chillis on August 15, 2012, 06:04:55 PM
they bother her a little, she will chew on them slightly.
i brought it up with the vet & they said she maybe just brushed againt something but she has them all the time, not in the same place, thesse ones will go & new ones will apear but in the same area of the pink belly
they are like little bites, hard & sometimes crispy

Gracie has similar little pink spots always in the centre of her belly, but they don't seem to come to a head or dry over. Our vet said not to worry, puppies have sensitive skin and it could have just been a reaction to something like rubbing on the grass.

Freya had a breakout of little spots on her belly, but they were tiny pussy heads. Vet said its the equivelant of "puppy acne" and she would grow out of it. Sure enough a few weeks later they were gone. Not sure if this is similar?

Looks like some kind of an allergic rash.  Pippa had something similar as a puppy and the vet gave us a shampoo to use which cleared it up.

Tilly had these spots too on her tummy when she was younger...vet said is was probably a reaction to the grass as her tummy was in contact with it all the time  as she was tiny. Has cleared up as she grew

My puppy has got these too, our vet has given us antibiotics. Could it be a reaction to grass then?

Is the vet sure it isn't fox mange, it started a bit like that with ours last year and the vet initially thought an allergy!

How does that work? Can they catch it from the grass? How is it fixed?

Lily had these too, they seem to be lessening as her legs grow  ph34r

My vet said it's probably just grass scratches or being stabbed by the hard bits as she boings her way through long grass, he advised just to keep an eye on it but as I said as she gets taller the marks are lessening   ;)

Pops had these when she was a baby....I too think its an allergy to grass or plants but as others have said when her legs get a little longer they will hopefully disappear  :luv:
