Yes, the more severe one is in the armpit area, and that smaller one is on his chest. The one on his chest seems to be scabbing up already. I will call the vet tomorrow morning to see when they can see us, and hopefully they can determine what it is, and if needed, to give us antibiotics.

Thanks so much for your help!!
