Sores & Scabs on Mia! Hey guys I just got back today from vacation and picked up my babies from my mom. I noticed Mia my little 3 pound girl yorkie has a bunch of scabs and pink or red sores on her head neck and chest. I know for sure she did not have these before I left. There are two that are huge and crusted over like a huge scab. The others just look like sore red or pinkish sores. I put some Neosporin on them today and I could tell they did hurt her since she squirmed a bunch. I am just wondering if I should try to heal them myself or take her to get checked out at the vet tomorrow. My mom said she kept a really good eye on her and the only thing she could think of was her and Murphy were wrestling a bunch. I doubt my other yorkie could have caused all of them so I think she must have a reaction to something. Any suggestions? |
i would bring her in.... layla has one of those on her head... i brought her in.. just a scrape... apparently... :confused: but if she has more than one i'd bring her in as soon as you can.. you woudn't want murphy to get it too. |

can you post a picture of them please? |
A picture would help... :confused: Do they look like ticks under the skin? Ticks scare me so much!!! :( I would take her in, anyway... |
She sounds like she has some kind of bug bites - is she itching ? poor baby :( |
2 Attachment(s) Okay I just sprayed some vet medicated itch and hot spot treatment on it from Pets Mart. I am not sure if it will help but it is worth a try. Here are some pictures of the two BIG sores for those who have asked. Thank you guys so much. I just want to make sure Mia is okay - I have no idea what this could have come from. |
1 Attachment(s) the one on the right looks a lot like the one layla has.. i'll post a picture of hers... it scabbed... then the hair fell out.. she has a bit bald spot :( it is red/orange from the idoine i put on... to keep infection away! the only thing that makes me worried about your is that there are many... not sure... perhaps mange?? is she under 1 year??? |
I've read where dogs can catch ring worms, do you think that's what it looks like? Please let us know once you find out so we can be careful with our babies. I like this site, because everyone is so helpful educating each other. Hope everyone's baby will be better soon and nothing serious. |
:eek: :eek: :eek: OMG, that is way too graphic :D Poor babies. I guess it is best that you seek a vet's attention just to be on the safe side. There is no way one can get that from rough playing :) Annika and Tiger sends slurrpy kisses to Mia and hope she gets well soon! |
I just saw the pics. That is what Bentley's looked like exactly, except his was less red. |
my vet says that ringworm would be the last thing it is... very very rare... but that is what i thought layla's was... he said it wasn't because it didn't have a red ring around the outside of the circle where it would be spreading... |
You need to have it checked out. It could be from having mange |
Okay - thanks guys I am taking her in to the Vet on Saturday just to be safe. I do not think it is ring worm becasue of all the sores but mange could be a possibility I guess. She just turned one on January the 8th. I am not sure what Mange is - guess I need to look that up. thanks again! |
Its a parasite. They do a skin scrape to check for it. It is also called mites |
