QuestionMy lab puppy is 8 months & developed bumps under her chin the size of BBs. There are probably 10 - 12 and they showed up suddenly as white then red, now 1 month later they are starting to go away. Were they just pimples? she has been eating the same Natural Choice Nutro food the whole time & eats out of stainless steel bowls I wash regularly. How can i prevent them from happening again, they appeared to be painful when i touched them.
AnswerThis is probably a bacterial infection. SOmetimes this chin acne can be infected with demodecx mites. Ask your vet to do a skin scraping to be sure. You can use an oral antibiotic called clindamycin and a topical medicine called mupirocin for chin acne. Ask your vet about these.
