Question
yes I have a puppy that is about two mouths old and she is breaking out around her mouth and feet with little blisters and I need to know what causes that and what can be done aboutit

Answer
Hi Carol,

I can't diagnose your puppy.

I can tell you that dogs and puppies can have skin sensitivities to plastic food bowls, which cause pimples around their mouths. This problem should clear up once the bowl is changed.

If you change the food and water bowls and the condition persists, obviously there is another reason the the problem, such as impetigo, a staph infection, puppy acne, or a bacterial infection.

Only a veterinarian can diagnose your puppy.

Best of luck,
Patti
