My yorkie has a rash - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Can anyone help me?? My yorkie, Tux, is 3 and he recently developed a rash. It started down his back and is like small crusty scab like places. They don't seem to bother him when you touch him there and he wasn't really scratching. Then yesterday I was rubbing his belly and noticed many red spots coming out on him. It is almost like he is breaking out in chicken poxs. They are just red spots not like blisters or anything, but he is scratching. Could this be allergies or what should I do.....he has never had this kind of problem with his skin......

First, Welcome to YT

. Have you tried calling your vet or taking him to the vet?

I haven't yet...I just noticed it last night on his belly.....the top of his back was healing up some....but now I guess I will have too......

Hmm.. Anyone else know anything about this rash, or what it could be???

The first time I noticed it down his back was when I used a tick replant (bio spot) on him...I thought that maybe he was allergic to this....then yesterday we were outside for a while....I guess that it could maybe be that he is allergic to the weeds in the woods. I know that when he was a little guy the vet put him on benedryl for watery eyes and a funny sounding cough saying he had allergies....I just didn't know if anyone has had allergy issues that caused rashes....

might be ringworm...have the vet do a skin scraping..then you'll know for sure....and get the right medication.
