some kind of rash...

[only1bmd]

Miss Bailey seems to have some sort of rash on the hairless part of her belly. There are several spots that look like pimples. If they were on a child you would think they were almost like chicken pox.
Does anyone know what this could be? We have an appointment on Friday for a check up but I wonder if this is something that I should bring her in to be seen sooner? Or am I being an over protective hovering Mom?

Hi Bonnie, there is a bunch of different posts on puppy rash if you do a search. There is one in particular that sounds like yours I believe it was originally posted by Joan Fisher. Good luck. Nessa had a good post as well as Jeannie on that topic.

Sounds like maybe puppy pyoderma. You can try using hydrogen peroxide on a cotton round or ball and wipe the area a couple times a day until your vet appt. Usually is self-limiting but not an unusual puppy problem. Some puppies get it, some don't.
