skin bumps? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My new morkie has skin bumps, almost scabs is the best way to describe. I kind of remember a cat of mine having these growing up often, but forget the diagnosis....any ideas? We see the vet this weekend....don't see any fleas/flea dirt, as that was my first idea....

its on his back, behind ears, etc.

he was fed purina puppy soaked in warm water....which we have kept him on for the next few days as to not adjust him to too many new things at one time (just getting him and all...) but plan to switch to a better food soon (still deciding what to try).

any ideas? how do i fix it?

This is the not quite 6 week old pup? Don't wait till the weekend, get this pup to a vet for a good examination and consultation on diet etc.

my first guess would have been the possibility of fleas but if you can't seem to find any or any flea dirt then maybe not. a trip to the vet will certainly help.
