| Skin bumps on back! Out of the blue, we noticed Kobe having a couple of "bumps" on his back. Then in a couple of days he had a couple more. When trying to get down to them to see what it looks like, I see some flakes and the bumps themselves look like dried skin. I was actually able to "scratch" or pick one of them away. His skin underneath appeared to be fine, just a little pink where the "scab" was. The flakes and scabs are hard to get off his hair - the only way I could was to continue to gently pull it out. Can anyone enlighten me as to what these are, what they are caused from and how to get rid of them? It is so weird that it just happened so quickly! Thanks! |

| Same Issue with My Yorkie! I am also trying to find out what this is. The vet said it was an allergic reaction to something and put my dog on medicine that made it go away.....but now it is back now that the medicine is gone. They started out in just a few places but are now everywhere! |

| I am wondering what kind of shamppoo you use on your fur baby. If your not already using this try the Oatmeal shampoo. Keep us posted how it goes.

| That is a food allergy. Did you feed poultry or fish? Put him on red meat and rice (you can add grated carrots and green beans) for a couple weeks and see if it doesn't clear up.
