Hi TxVicki,
You were right, I went to a vet today and it was a Staph infection probably due to her allergies. He said the spots came from the small raised papules that burst and formed brown crusts on the skin. Dogs usually have staph on their skin, when the skin gets too oily it can cause an overgrowth which leads to an infection and the raised bumps. I never saw any raised bumps on her skin, so Im hoping hes correct in his diagnosis. Also I found a flea on my baby yesterday. Shes being treated for her Staph infection, allergies, and fleas! He gave her Prednisone for her allergies. Plus the doctor recommended a rabbit or kangeroo diet to eliminate any possible food allergy she might have with NO treats, due to treats might contain whatever she might be allergic to. If this works it is definitely food allergies she has.
Well Ill update more on how she turns out with these new prescriptions. Thanks for your help guys.
