infinitykate Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hi All, Silly question. Finn gets little blisters or pimples on her tummy. She's had probably 6 or 7 of them in the last month or so. I don't know whether this is something I should worry about, and take her to the vet, or if it's because she's had a few treats (veggies etc) that were outside of her normal diet. They don't seem to bother her, but usually she will be acting like the rest of her is itchy on the same days she gets them, which makes me wonder if it's just a sensitivity to something in the kibble she's having. What do y'all think? Thanks much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 it is quite possibly a food allergy. Best bet is to cut out all treats and only feed the kibble and see if it clears up. Then start introducing a single treat at a time and see if they come back. It could also be stress related or any other random thing that she has been in contact with.

Sarah Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 It's not like a nettle rash or something similar is it? Does she run in long grass? Failing that it could be a food allergy like Cat says - suppose getting her to keep still for a pic of it is out of the question for a husky pup lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitykate Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'll see if I can get a pic when I'm home tonight. She likes to lay and have her tum rubbed, so it shouldn't be too hard. She doesn't run in long grass, but I think they may spray some of the grass at my apartment with spray. It seems to be random though no real trigger.

CanadianWolf Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 i dont know if this is accualy true but this also happend to Suka. Lucky for me it happend right around a vet visit and the doc told me that its the equivilent of humans getting pimples. i then took that info to my breeder and she said that is true as some do get it. it could be stress related or other wise but its just a pimple basicaly. she also told me that they usualy go through a weird teen stage where they just start their growth spurt and i belive this stage its their first fear period so could be a cause of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic_Sibe Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Kiana keeps getting them too, little blisters with a clear liquid in them, they pop they go. I am thinking it's quite common. No infection, but will keep an eye on them. Just make sure you keep them clean. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitykate Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 http://www.flickr.com/photos/toliveanextraordinarylife/3609913113/ You can see two of them on her tum in this photo. Let me know what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic_Sibe Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 exactly the same as the ones Kiana gets on occasion i have never worried about them, as I said if they are kept clean they are usually gone in a day or so. Keep us informed Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
