Guest argolola Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Not that I go around looking, but I don't think I have noticed these spots on Rudy before. Any ideas? I have seen some fleas on both pups, although they get their flea treatments (and it's been about every 3 weeks this season) but I don't know it that could be related or not. Thanks in advance.

TheFullHouse Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) They look like little bites but they're so evenly spaced. This time of year they could be spider bites or some other insect. They don't look swollen. I would guess they'll go away in a few days. If you see him chewing you can give him some benadryl.

gracegirl Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 That's what Fenway's undercarriage looked like when he had a staph infection.

seeh2o Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Well I guess this is going to sound lame, but they look like freckles to me When I first got Carl I gave him several thorough once, twice, thrice overs. He had some little black spots near his manly part, too. I tried to scratch them off...they were permanently attached. I guess he has freckles on his penis wrapper! Whenever I see them I still want to wipe them off, but I refrain, I don't want to seem fresh with him. What I'm trying to say is that looks a lot like Carl's freckled nether region.

Batmom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Could be flea bites, but those usually aren't so dark. Could be gnat/fly/mosquito bites. Joseph gets similar a lot during the summer when he lies in the grass.

Guest akgs13 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I am so glad I am not the only one to notice the freckles, I tried to wipe them off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Dude whole tummy is covered with freckles that look a bit like those. Are they raised at all? Do they look red and/or swollen or just spots like freckles or moles? It does seem a bit fresh, but the man of this house is KNOT going to check his boys over, so I get to do it! I make it a point to "examine" all my dogs, all over at least every ten days or so, just so I don't miss anything. They're on their backs so much that it makes a quick once over a breeze. greysmom Quote Chris - Mom to: Felicity (DeLand), and Andi (Braska Pandora) siggy by Chris Harper, on Flickr Angels: Libby (Everlast), Dorie (Dog Gone Holly), Dude (TNJ VooDoo), Copper (Kid's Copper), Cash (GSI Payncash), Toni (LPH Cry Baby), Whiskey (KT's Phys Ed), Atom, Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketDog Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Rocket's entire belly, from chest to groin, was covered with little sores just like that when we got him. A good thorough bath, a quick swipe with antiseptic solution and a week or two and he was good as new... We figured it was either staph or flystrike.

Guest argolola Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks everyone! With all Rudy has been through, nothing would surprise me. He had a great week, but yesterday he was down again. I do check my dogs fairly often for anything unusual. Lola used to be easy to check, but since she's been on EicosaDerm, she has such a gorgeous thick coat, I can't see through it anymore.

tbhounds Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I guess would be May fly bites----do some of them have a bullseye ring around them?? If it's May fly bites they will resolve in a day or two by themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest argolola Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 They may have spread a bit, but not real sure. We rolled him over into a roach position to get a good look, then I got a wet cloth and wiped him down. There was a bit of brown on the cloth, so not sure it that was dirt or part of these brown "spots." He didn't mind at all, but did cry when I cleaned on the left side. My poor baby boy.
