darren 67 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Yes mate did he work cover while out? If so could he of got scratches that got muck in them and formed spots. When my dog had them was day after beating that I noticed them when brushing him out and just hosed him down after his brushing and they went for the next day. But left scabs as though they where scratches or small thorn wounds. Cleared up after a couple of days. Keep an eye on them and if you get concerned give the vets a ring if only for peace of mind.

Daveo26 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Bit more info What sort of dog is he? How old is he? Ever noticed this before? Showing any discomfort? How bad us it? It it wasn't there before you went out something's irritated him, Maybe it's a grass allergy? Obvious thing is, go see a vet if your worried or the dog is not happy.

apache Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 You are giving a textbook description of pustules. A reasonably common manifestation of skin disease in dogs. There are many possible causes. Try to rule out simple irritation (nettles, biological washing powder, unsuitable kennel disinfectant etc) and ensure you are treating regularly with an effective flea control products. If the problem is not resolving then a trip to the vets is in order. Sometimes pustules can be a manifestation of more serious skin conditions.
