Rather than scare you - I can tell you that my dog was given a lot of different medicines and eventually was completely well again.

With just one spot - remember that even a pinch or a puncture wound can cause bleeding under the skin that might stay for a while.

One poster just mentioned ringworm. I'm not sure exactly how that presents.

Just keep an eye on your dog. If she develops additional spots, take her to the vet, and she still probably does not have the condition that my dog had. She could have any number of problems - and many that might not be serious at all.

Good luck! Keep in touch.

OMG, CAROL! That sound horrible! I'm glad that you got your baby all better.
