Question
I have a Blue Blood pit "Riddick" and he has been nutered, he is just 1yr old. Just lately he has been gitting small bumps that are scally and when you brush them the hair falls off and you are left with bare skin the bumps started on his neck by his front legs and has gone to he chest and back. They don't seem to bother him but when he was about 6 months old he had demodectic mange and the vet gave us a ointment I think it was call Goodwinol.  He only have a small spot on his chest when he was 6 months and these bumps are very small the size of peas. Could this be the samething he had when he was 6 months old but only on a larger scale?


Answer
Hi there,
These bumps are becoming common questions here,however i must advise teh help of a vet in this case. I am no vet so i do not want to pretend like i know what i am advising, so i suggest you see a vet.

Also I think that you should see how the bumps are doing. If they seem to be going away, than wait and see how it goes. But a blue pit is expensive and Im sure you dont want to lose that type of money, for something that could be easily prevented with the help of a vet.

I hope this helps
