Little Red lumps under arm pits advice please

Hi there nel my 1 yr old staff has come out under her armpits with what looks like acne I think it's mites and I am going to buy some special shampoo for it but she also on Saturday night decided to dive into a canal we went for a walk down and was thinking it was maybe the canal water that could have caused it?

It could very well be the canal water, or perhaps a heat rash, I'd put some sudocrem on it first to see if it settle down

Agree with Hayley, sudocreme will help to soothe it either way. Pop to the vets for a skin scrape before self-medicating or shampooing for mites. If they become a bit wet and puss-like, they may be infected and coarse of antibiotics might be in order. Is Nel itching her armpits?

Nel is scratching no more than normal still running around at 1 million miles and hour playing as normal and pulling like a freight train on the lead she is showing no signs that there hurting her at all

Does she wear a harness? Sometimes the under-arm types can rub, especially in the heat

Yeah always wears a harness when walking chokes herself just her collar I know I am probably panicking over nothing

It could be the harness rubbing if it fits under arms. But pop her to the vet if you want to be completely sure.

Think I will have to go to the vets to be on the safe side after all she has only just turned one want her around for a lot longer

Aww yes I agree always air on the side of caution I do think it's probs nothing to worry about but best to be sure xx

Yes had the same when vin was younger with the harness, agree sudocreme but a vet trip wouldn't hurt. :-)

How are the arms looking today ?
