PUG PUPPY!! Skin problem?? Please help!! Any advice welcome...?

My pug puppy, who is 3 months old started getting little bumps on the top of her head about 2 weeks ago. I thought the bumps were caused from rough housing with my full grown chihuahua, but it has progressed to where it is now all over her body!! I can't get her into the vet until tomorrow but i'm really curious to know if any body has had a similar experience, the bumps are under the skin and it seems to bald the area where they are located... to the point where there is very little hair on the top of her head!! HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSES DOG!! i'm really freakedout.... also it doesn't seem to be a contagious rash because my chihuahua has yet to have anything similar! All answers welcome!PUG PUPPY!!

I would recommend that you have your vet do a skin scraping on the areas that are affected. In a dog this age, demodectic mange is not uncommon. It causes the hair to fall out, and causes a rash. It is usually not itchy. The only way to find this is by doing a skin scraping that may cause some additional redness.





There are other possibilities, such as a simple bacterial skin infection, other skin parasites, or allergies, but these are not as common.





Ask about these when you go to the vet, and see what is recommended. Most of these conditions are easily treated.


Good luck!PUG PUPPY!! Skin problem?? Please help!! Any advice welcome...?
sounds like a skin infection of some sort... new shampoo? My dog had something similar but they had puss pockets with green heads on them... we had to wash him in a medicated soap and vet gave a cream and some pills. The little pug will be alright... not life threatening I'm sure! =)
It might be allergic to something, if you have changed its food things like that. Just like humans dogs get sick, its probably just haveing an allergic reaction.
Could be a type of worm or fungus. Only your Vet can tell by doing skin scrapings. Good luck.
go the vet now your dog could be dying
demodectic mange, flea dermatitis.....
Don't freak out ... this could just be one of those common things for Pugs. If they're itty bitty little red or pink bumps and there's just a little bit of hair missing, it could be demodex mange.





There's actually 4 types of mites that affect Pugs ... but demodex is usually the one that pops up most often. These mites live on all dogs and usually don't become active unless there's a drop in the Pug's immune system. Anything can make their immune system off kilt - just coming home to a new environment away from their mom and littermates. This type of mange isn't contageous to humans or other pets, but still needs to be treated by the vet.





The vet will take a small scraping of the skin and check it under the microscope. If it's positive, then they'll prescribe some sort of medication or dips.
