My puppy looks like he has a tiny red scratch or cut on his chest / belly area. Potentially a nipple. Not bleeding. Puppy is behaving normally. Thoughts?

hey may be bug bites or local inflammation. Use a pet wipe or a plain, unscented baby wipe to gently clean the area. If they wipe away, they were likely little bites that bled slightly. Monitor for spread or resolution. If they worsen, see your veterinarian.
