My dogs gets them from nettles mate

Nettle rash maybe?

[Bosun11 537]

Could be a reaction to a chemical, think back to where you have been? Though the skin and skin problems can be a devil to get to the bottom of.

 

I wouldn't burst 'em. Simply get him to the vet and they'll sort it.

the only chemical i can think of is the jays fluid i use to clean the kennels???

[yampydoo 19]

jay fluid would not use that bad stuff that for cleaning kennels i would just use disinfectant

I.ve known jay's fluid to kill dogs

[Bruen 3]

Jays fluid is good as long as you leave to dry out propley had the same problem vets give me a solution to water down and bath haven't had any since wouldn't say it was a big problem just get it looked at

My dogs get the same when they have been in long grass some more than other it,s an allergic reaction try some antihistamine hay fever tablets it goes of it,s own accord if they are kept out of grass

Seen it on dogs running through stubble a lot this time of year

It's just a mild bacterial infection caused by tiny scratches or punctures to the skin. Nothing to worry about. Just dab with diluted Tea Tree Oil or TCP to combat the infection and help to dry up the pus. You could put any antiseptic cream or ointment on the spots though, I just prefer to use what I've mentioned.

my bitch got them from running through long grass,, in my opinion they arent harmful and they just went after a couple of days, came back after running in long grass again but soon went again, they arent to worry about mate
