What could be causing a red lumpy tummy?

[Worthy]

  Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem, Kasper's tummy is red and lumpy (like insect bites or stings). I initially thought that it could be fleas irritating him and got the frontline out but that was over a week ago now and they are still there.

Has he been anywhere near stinging nettles?

He walks we me off the lead in the woods so yeah he probably has, maybe that's it then they just look really inflamed and sore.

Aww poor boy. Have you any aloe vera gel? It will help to sooth it.

aww bless - its such a tender spot - could be allergic as well - cooling it down with aloe vera should sooth

Thanks for the advise but I have no Aloe Vera, could I use Calamine lotion?

I have used sudocrem on my doggies before now. I cheked this out with my vet and they approved.  It may just be worth bearing in mind, it has always worked wonders on my girls

sudocrem is fine 

I swear by my Aloe Vera plant too - Jarv gets plastered with goo from the leaves whenever he gets anything like that (and I know there's nothing else but the gel going onto him!).  They're easy to grow, and just get watered when I remember
