We rescued her when the dog shelter nearby estimated that she 6/7 months old. If that is true, she would be 9/10 months old now boxer mix. We moved just recently out to a more country living area, been here for 3 wks now. Her temperament and loving n
I would recommend taking Red to a veterinarian. With the history provided it may indicate allergies. Her skin looks very irritated and after a physical is performed to determine if this is the cause there is plenty of options for allergies in dogs. The first thing is clearing the infection which can include antibiotics, anti-fungals and/or shampoos. The next step is treating the allergies. This can be done by anti-histamines, steroids or two newer treatments one is pills called apoquel and then other is a 4-8 week injection called cytopoint. Allergies can be caused by environmental factors, which its sounds like could be part of the issue due to the recent move to the country but it can also be caused by food allergies. I would discuss this with your veterinarian and make a treatment plan with what is best for you and Red. If after a physical it doesn't appear to be allergies it could also be some type of mite on Red's skin. If your veterinarian feels it is more from m

I just noticed that the pads and skin on my pup's front feet is bright red? he is 6 months old a pure bred great Dane weighs 95 lbs
Rajah apparently does not have a lot of calloused skin on his pads. He will only get that by walking on hard ground. If the dog spends most of his life inside on carpeted floors then the pads will be soft and you can see hyperemia through the skin. You need to take Rajah for walks on varied terrain. If you think his pads are inflamed or hurt,. please make an appointment with your veterinarian for a foot exam.

Hi, and thanks for your question. This could be due to an allergy, although it could also be infection or mites. First of all, in order to rule out skin parasites, you will need to treat with a high quality flea treatment, then ask the vet to perform a skin scrape - this might reveal an infection or a mite infestation. If all of those came back negative, the next step is to treat the allergy symptomatically and try to discover the cause of the allergy. Three main type of allergies are usually affecting pets: food allergies, flea and parasite related ones and environmental type (allergens coming from trees, pollens, dust etc etc). Some medications can be given by the vet in order to repair any possible skin lesions (like steroids and antibiotics). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will

If Reddy is playing very rough with them, I wouldn't let them alone with her. You can keep them with her when you are around and supervising but if you have to leave and they are roaming I would separate them till they are a little bigger. That way they don't get hurt. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

Noticed a weird red ring on our dogs, one on one dog, four on the other. Worried it’s ring worm and worried it’s contagious to us. Would like to know what it is.
Ring worm is a possibility and is contagious to both people and other animals. There is no way to be certain from the photos. Your vet can check it with a woods lamp to see if it reacts or do a culture to confirm it. It may be a reaction from a tick or allergy that is also causing those spots You can try to keep the spot clean and apply a topical antifubgal until you get the seen to be safe
