quick one - spot breakout under from leg/armpit

by **asa-james** Thu Jul 12 2012, 23:07

noticed it tonight when i got in from work (she was fine at lunch when i popped home) Lola had a small outbreak of spots in one armpit, they have since all popped and left a small bunch of red marks. doesnt seem to be bothering her, she's as lively as ever, and now sleeping soundly.

do staffs have random breakouts at certain ages? she's 22 months old, healthy, and the only recent change in her diet is zykolene to try and calm her for a car journey tomorrow (which she has been on before with no ill effects)

Stop worrying, keep an eye on it for now! Xx

Probably nothing but if it were me I'd put a lil good old sudocrem on it, if nothing else it will stop any irritation x

I would just keep an eye on it and apply sudocream. It could have been caused from a number of things and unless it gets worse or becomes persistant nothing to worry about

Staffords are prone too skin rash especially in areas where they have little hair my girl has a reaction too wet grass and gets out breaks of spots i just use sudocream or anti histamine if it doesn,t clear up sure it will clear x

Cairo had a few spots from when we went to the dogs trust open day on sunday.She seems to get them when she gets covered in wet from grass and mud, etc.I washed her skin with hibiscrub watered down to a pale pink.I got some from her vets ages ago for a skin rash she had and when it ran out i brought a big bottle of it.Its fab for anything like that.

update, they cleared friday night, we went camping, and due to severe weather and the campsite flooding, we left less than 24 hours after getting there very cold, wet and unhappy. bonus is she barely slept at all yesterday, so she's been flat out since we got back this afternoon Big Grin
