| little bumps all over I have a 1 yr old yorkie who stays outside while I am at work. We also have a 3 yr. old schnauzer. Anyway they both have these little bumps all over their bodies. The are scabbed over and the dogs scrach them all the time. We dont have fleas or ticks so I cant figure out what is causing them. We havent changed their shampoo or anything like that either. How do I get rid of them? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hi - I'd get them to a vet as soon as you can - this could a variety of things, including mites (which you can't see). Either way, left unchecked - those scabs could turn into a staph infection. Since they both have it, it could very well be something that is contagious. It definitely sounds like it needs medical attention. As an aside, are your babies in a covered area outside? I only ask bc around here, we have hawks/owls and they prey on small dogs...
