My dog has red front and back legs, but no rash. What's wrong?

It looks like she could have a skin infection and/or an allergic dermatitis. You could clean the area with a wound wash and see if it continues to improve. Otherwise, she should be examined by a vet for treatment. She may need an antibiotic, antihistamine, or a corticosteroid to help treat.

This may be from an allergic reaction from a bite or something in the environment. some part of her legs look like there may be a secondary infection in the skin. Due to the redness and swelling she should be seen by your vet for medication to treat the infection and underlying cause

Hello, you might try a small amount of hydrocortisone cream twice daily for 7-10 days. If the area does not improve, or seems to be spreading, please see your veterinarian for further diagnosis. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. Poor Snow! Her skin looks really reactive. I really think you should take Snow to your vet for an exam at your earliest convenience. She may need oral antibiotics or some anti-inflammatory medications. I don't think it is an emergency though. To me it looks like a contact dermatitis (allergy). Poison ivy is possible but it is actually pretty rare in dogs. Benadryl is fine to give but you need to make sure you are giving enough. Dogs take a MUCH higher dose than we do. The dose is 1mg/pound of body weight. For example, 25 pound dog should get one 25mg capsule/tablet. If she is 50 pounds, then 2 of the 25mg capsules. You can round up if needed as it is pretty safe to give. She can have that every 12 hours. Topically, I suggest you put this on the affected areas until you can get her to the vet: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-hot-spot-antimicrobial-gel-for-dogs ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

It's possible that Feli has been licking or scratching this area, causing these abrasions. This type of lesion can develop pretty quickly - even overnight. Some of the most common causes of itching include allergies and fleas. Make sure that she's regularly receiving a good quality flea preventive (Bravecto, Nexgard, Credelio and Simparica are all great prescription options, and K9 Advantix II is available over the counter). You can also give her a bath in a gentle oatmeal or baby shampoo in case there are any lingering allergens on her coat causing irritation. You certainly don't need to rush her to a vet for these lesions alone, but if they get worse or spread, then you should take her to get checked out. When dogs scratch, they can damage the protective skin barrier, which can make them susceptible to developing skin infections. I hope that she's on the mend soon!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Daje. Poor girl sounds miserable. Take a cup of oatmeal, and put it into a blender to make a fine powder. Then add it to a warm bath, and put her in it. That may help temporarily soothe her skin. First thing in the morning, have her seen by a vet to diagnose the cause of the skin problem so she can get treated. I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Autumn. She could have a rash from an allergic reaction or she could have a skin infection. I would have to see her in person in order to make a diagnosis, so I recommend you take her into the vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing her skin issue and can treat her. I'd try to take her into a vet today. I hope this helps!
