Puppy Skin Issues....

Question
Hello, I have a 9 week old Shih Tzu puppy... He has developed bumps on his stomach in the past week. The bumps start off as greenish in color in form of a blister. Within a day they turn into scabs and fall off... Could this be Staph Pyoderma? Or Ring Worm?

Answer
Hi Shannon, I don't think it is staff.  You should have the vet take a look at it.  Sounds like it may be a reaction to the heat and weather.  Also, she could be allergic to the food you are feeding?
NOT sure.

If you would like more info on proper foods and supplements, let me know, I can help..

Best wishes on your new baby.
