Question
My maltepoo (1 year old) has three patches that he's loosing air. There seems to be a rash in the area. We removed a couple of tics over the past couple of weeks. Any ideas?

Answer
Hello Hannah,
It could be irritation from the tick bite or it could just be irritated if your dog is itching or scratching it, due to the recent tick bites.
You can try putting Benedryl cream on it to help with any itching or burning that could be bothering your dog.
Give it a try and if it doesn't seem to help within the next couple of days, let me know and I will suggest some other things that may help.
