Has anyone ever seen anything like this? 3 Attachment(s) Capone was at my moms and was playing in the back yard and when he came inside he had these awful looking spots and bruises on his genital area. My mom was watching him and she said she didn't see him do anything weird or out of the ordinary. It's not fleas, but these spots look awful. Any idea what it could be? I know he likes to drag his stomach on the ground, but he has never has anything like this before. I have a vet appointment set up, but I'm curious if anyone has seen anything like this before. Please help if you can, thanks in advance! |
I believe they are insect bites. Both my yorkies have gotten the same exact thing, in the same place. They lift their leg to pee, and these annoying bee-like insects bite them. They leave blood under the skin, and it dries and looks brown, just like that. We've had this problem the last two summers. They usually disappear in a few days, but keep an eye on them. Baxter got bitten up pretty bad last summer, and the vet gave him a shot of cortisone. This year I was very careful, but they still got a few bites. I've put a few dabs of witch hazel on them, and it helps. |
Thank you so much for the reply. I knew something probably got a hold of him, but had no idea what it could of been. Thanks I hope they heal pretty fast, it looks awful! |
They look like chigger bites to me. |
