Yesterday she's fine - today, not so much. I'm going to provide as much
information as possible, but paragraph 1 (see P1) will have the
overview in case someone thinks they know what it is *right off the
bat.* - I looked up "skin rashes" and "skin conditions" and "skin
diseases" (in dogs, dog, animals) - and read various websites through
Google; however... everyone says my dog should be itchy. She isn't...
it's odd.

VET: I'll take her Friday night, unfortunately I won't be able too take
her tonight or tommorow because of work/classes (unless someone
responds right now saying take her to the emergency vet, but I really
can't afford it unless it really really is life or death.)

A year and three months old
German-Shepperd mutt
45 pounds or so / eats Pedigree large breed formula
Up to date shots, on frontline, heartguard
Clean as a whistle

P1 - Basically, she has these open-ended soars, which have blood coming
out of some of them. They are ALL on her upper coat - as in, nothing in
her belly, lower neck, chin, inner legs or towards her feet. The
majority of them are towards the lower-mid back, but go all the way up
to the tip of the neck before her head starts. There are none on her
head, face, nose. They are about a quarter of a penny big, look like a
pimple that was popped and is trying to heal - however some opened up
and bled.

P2 - details... some things *have* changed. I think it's stress, hives,
or maybe even an allergic reaction. Here's a list of what's changed in
the last week:

1. We're moving from an apt to a house, she's spent a lot of time
moving back and forth with me. Last night was week 2 of going there
every day, she's fine cool and collected while over there and on the
drive there and back.

2. I started crating her, the crate is clean - there is no black dots,
flea droppings, or anything odd. Her old sheet is still there, the one
she's been sleeping in for months. She went from living in a 10x14 room
to a crate, over night unfortunately. In the morning she runs in there
when it's time for me to leave, however, so she seems ok.

3. She...... had a haircut. At Petco. Yeah.. I basically had her shaved
down to a 1/2" cut, and a "milk bath" (the thing they recommend...
sorry I'm guilty of not knowing exactly what it was, but I bought it
for the nail clipping and teeth cleaning ^_^ ) First time for both.
This was two days ago. She was fine last night.

4. My G/F and I have been changing roles... for the longest time I
think my dog believed she was the next dog down from me - over my
girlfriend and her dog - unfortunately it was because of my spoiling.
So recently we sat down and talked about it, and we're going to do the
dog pack as me, my g/f, my g/f dog (he's been around lot longer than my
dog has) and my dog... so recently she's been treated a bit differently
- doesn't go out first, etc, this may cause stress - and honestly, it's
the only thing she hasn't taken to very well.

SO.....

I think it's something from Petco. May be stress. I don't see any signs
of parasites and there isn't any animals crawling on her. I'd say there
are about 100-150 of these soars though, it's kind of scary. She
doesn't itch them, touching them doesn't bother her, scratching her
lightly doesn't get a reaction from her, poking them doesn't bother
her... she's pretending they're not there.

Please advice =/

thank you -_-

It sounds like Sebaceous cysts. Or possibly mast cell cancer.
I'd ask your vet

........My guess is the clippers were dirty. Might be staph, might be
something else. This is not a dog I would have given a haircut to. Your
vet should be able to help you.

take out the dog before replying

Staph probably wouldn't be just "3"

Often Sebaceous cysts open up after a bath and come to a head.

So you are one of those assholes that can't afford a dog because of a
limited budget.
So you are one of those assholes that gets a dog anyway.
So you are one of those assholes whose dog suffers because you're not able
to provide him with proper care.
So you are one of those assholes one wonders about how you mistreat your
children, wife, mother.

This is uncalled for. My bet is these are sebaceous cycts, or mast cell
tumors.
I would simply trim the hair away from the wounds, clean the area, and
make a scheduled appointment for the vet. EVERYTHING a dog has is not
always a medical emergency. Granted, prompt attention is warranted, but
running to an emergency clinic over something that can be routinely
attended to does not make this poster an abusive or neglectful owner.
However your post IS abusive.

Definitely take her to the vet, but i'm also wondering if it could be
an allergic reaction to the shampoo that they used? wonder if they
didn't get all the soap out? If it were my dog i would rebathe him in
a shampoo that i always use or get a oatmeal shampoo. .

Does she seem to be itchy? if so i'd call the vet for a benadryl dose.
Do not cancel the appt.

Actually often sebaceous cysts erupt after a bath due to the softening of
the keratin plug.

Or these sores could be simply allergic reactions to soaps or conditioners,
or perhaps soaps or conditioners left in, which would create soar spots.
Again, something that needs attended to by the vet promptly, but definitely
not an emergency
