Can you post some photos of the red spots?

Are they on the skin?
Look dry or wet?
Size and shape?

I will try 2 upload a photo lata.. They seem to be dry spots which have appeared all over her back which have started to scab.. Could this b a allergic reaction?

I have a few ideas, but bare in mind, these are only ideas, you will need to consult your vet.

Thanks for that.. It looks like the third photo.. The skin allergy. Is there anythink u could recommend to treat this skin allergy?

Yup, try some omega oils, an oatmeal bath and switching her food to a food free from wheat and grains and by products. Does she seem to itch an awful lot? Has she been treated for worms and fleas? Did the vet suggest what may be causing the reaction?

Please remember, we can not diagnose, and if this is something that is causing her discomfort, please seek advice from your vet.



Sorry Shazzy :o

Haha no worries Bella, I would suggest the same thing!

To add to that I would ask if you have been using any new chemicals around the house?
New products the clean the tiles or floorboards, carpet shampoo etc, anything new she might be laying or or touching.
Even plants in the garden can cause reactions in some dogs.

If you get to the root of the problem it should clear up on its own.

Thanks all for the advice I will try n change what she's eating and doing etc. Hopefully its just an allergy and it clears up itself.
