i have a 7 month old walker pup and i had noticed some scabby sores under her chin a few days ago. figured it was fly bites or some type of insect. put some fly spray on her. but tonite i noticed she is covered with these sores under her belly, inside her legs and under her neck and chin. they are yellow puss filled blistery sores. most have scabbed up but you can still see the puss. reminds me of chicken pox. i'm thinking maybe its a food alergy. i'm feeding sportmix blue bag. 26/18. maybe the protein is too high for summer. also found 1 tick on her belly. maybe fire ants? i can't find a mound anywhere. any ideas?

maybe hot spots? just a guess. I was told that they are caused from too high of protein in their food. I had one dog get one this summer on the side of her face. I took some antibacterial spray about two times a day with some neosporin and it was gone in 4 days.

My first guess would be some type of insect bites. 'Could' be red mange, I've seen dogs have it like that, I'd treat her with a shot of Ivermectin 1/10 cc per 10 lb. That also helps with any blood sucking insect or parasites, too. If all else fails, take her to the vet for a skin scraping. I've also read about young dogs getting acne too. Could be 1 of many things.

It could be staff infection.You can give the dog a bath with any anti bacterial soap and it should help.

most probable cause is her bedding straw and cedar shaving will cause these sores
