My Kona is 1 1/2 years old...he has developed a couple of pimple-like sores on his belly. They are hard and look like a chicken pox type sore. We have recently moved to a new home so he has been exposed to different grasses, weeds etc. It is also mosquito season and alot of ants around. He doesn't seem to even notice that they are there until I mess with them. No scratching or licking. I have another yorkie with no signs of anything. Any ideas?

Could he have a flea?? I had a schnauzer that was allergic to fleas and when she got bit it would turn into something like you are talking about.

Sounds like a staph infection. Our dog used to get them all the time. Could be related to allergies. Our vet gave us cephalexin antibiotic and it always cleared it right up.
