Hot spots? Rash?

[dr_guido85]

Noticed this type of rash or something on her belly and armpit... Need some help identifying what that is..
Am pretty sure that it doesn't itch her.
No change in appetite or mood..
Might this be due to the heat and humidity.
She's tick and flea free since we took her in 2 months ago.
But she had some ticks when we rescued her.. And I remember there were a few under her arm pits... Could that be the cause.?what do you think I should do

I would tKe mine to the vet to find out exactly what it is. Could be an allergy or some type of rash.

Is she on monthly flea and tick prevention?

I think I'd be getting that checked out. It looks similar, but not the same as My dog's allergic reaction to chicken and wheat, but more severe. Maybe heat rash, chaffing? Maybe allergy? The allergy didn't present right away, and didn't go away immediately either, but this looks like it could get or might be a bit infected.

Yes looks like Abby when she eats processed chicken.
What do you feed?

 

[dr_guido85]

Yes I do feed some chicken..
I will stop immediately.
Wht is recommended to feed?

There's lots of good answers to that. There's a whole thread on raw feeding you may want to check out. Personally, I feed Acana Pacifica and am very careful about treats. Store bought treats often either have wheat, chicken or some ingredient of those...and those that don't are often apparently yucky and the dogue doesn't like them - so not a treat. Usually make treats myself with very limited ingredients, and there's a brand of high quality all-beef hot dogs that are fine for times when I run out and don't have time to make treats.

When it's hot out Jake gets a rash under his armpits like the one in your photo, I use a cortisone cream on it and it helps to clear it up and take the itch away.

I am with Jakesmum, it looks like a rash from moisture and heat and not uncommon for dogs being active outside in the warmer weather. The belly spots look like little gnat marks. if she was playing in the grass or laying down outside it is not uncommon for little bitey things to make a few marks.
