small red boils on the tummy - Page 2

While Staph pyoderma and demodectic mange are dissimilar and tend to occur on different parts of the body, there may also exist  a bacterial infection secondary to demodex (which may occur when the immature immune system has been challenged).

Why did the vet tell them to spay the dog    dermadectic is in all of the high prey german lines and when a pup teeths or gets anxious in training, they sometime have a bout with it,,,,but you cant spay every dog in the world for bumps and a case of dermadectic or I call it    puppy measles.....my kids would have been done away with years ago......spay a pup for bumpies......

That was my first thought too altos. except fire ant bites itch like crazy....  trust me I know first hand LOJ

I haven't seen Gold Bond powder mentioned so I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents' worth. It's our favorite remedy for keeping moist areas dry -- other than ears.

thanks for all the replies. Applying Betnovate-C has helped within 24 hours. The boils are much less pronounced. I'm cleaning the area with dettol aslo before applying the cream. I keep him in crate which is floored with Wodd Shaves and it is changed everytime he comes out. Since some water is spilt inside when he drinks. But otherwise he is usually in his room/kennel or crate. But when he comes out he just wants to get wet because of tremendous heat here

Thanks to all

cheers

Aqua I LOVE Gold Bond Powder for a lot of things.  I use it for hot spots when they crop up along with a topical antibiotic and they are usually gone in a few hours.  No shaving required.

Vikram,

Wet wood shavings is one of the main sources of harboring the bacteria that cause pyoderma.  ;)

You might change to a puppy pad (absorbent) which is removed when wet.  :)

Glad to hear he is getting better!

I thought I was crazy when I broke out the Gold Bond for my dogs itching above and beyond the antibiotics and anti itch medication the vet gave me. His skin was so raw poor guy, likes the pool a bit to much. He has been banned until he clears up and then will wash him down and towel him off every time he gets out of the water. Lots of good info in this thread thanks,

I like Gold Bond too, me and doggies too.... Its a bit embarrassing when youve kept them clean and safe and you sell one..put it outside in the play pen for sun and fun.....on shavings in the dirt,,,,the next morning   bumpies......and the people are coming to get him today.....Gold bond saves the day    them a little lotrimen ointment and almost gone   I send home some powder in a baggie and explain   they laid in the wet dirt and love the water bucket......big ones too .... My Crissy and Bear live with their heads in the water buckets  digging the Kong back out .....of course, we have wet ears also..

Do not put water in crates for dogs or pups to spill...To train your pup ,that we are going outside first thing when crate door is opened....water bowls should be out side on patio or yard....they learn to go potty and drink outside...not all over the crate or floor....They do not need water while your gone,,,if you have to leave that long,,,you better board the pup....drink before you leave , let out or make arrangements for someone , neighbor or friend to go let out and potty or drinkk..

This is so heartbreaking. I was actually using Wood Shavings on the floor of the crate to remove possibility of developing elbow callouses. But now this information that wet wood causes bacteria is sucha bummer. Thanks SOOOOO much. I will immediately replace wood shavings with Soft Puppy pad
