| yorkie pimples?and breathing problems? can swimming in a pool cause pimples for dogs, meesh has been swimming in the pool everyday, i rinse her off in the shower afterwards, but she has all these bumps that look identacle to pimples?, or do dog fly bites look different than humans? shes not itching or anything but it feels so weird to feel all these bumps on her back and neck.. she has an appointment to see the vet on wednesday when her brother gose in to get neutered, but i the meantime i though maybe someone on here had this happen to them?, my minds thinking the worst! so im hoping it is just pimples and nothing serious! also in the heat latley she has been making noises when she plays or runs too hard as if she can't breathe,i brought her in to get checked but the vet said small dogs do that,im wondering if i should take her somewere else for a second opinion?almost like gasping for air as if someone is choking her... but she keeps on playing as if it dosent bother her?..both my yorkies wear buddy belts, so theres no harness up around her throat?..any ideas? |

| Try using an all natural exfoliating shampoo on your pup, I did this once a week for a month and my dogs "pimples" were gone. Now I only use it about once a month to make sure they don't come back. The breathing thing could also be a reverse sneeze, this is common in little dogs. A vet should be able to tell the difference but I have learned over the years just because they have DVM after their name does NOT mean they are experts in small dogs.

| Try to document the breathing problem in a video to show to your vet.

I hope your pup feels better soon. And I hope the neutering goes well.
