Over the last couple weeks my 1 year old puppy has started licking her belly
so much she's starting to get a rash. Now she's always loves belly rubs but
now due to the licking it's turning red and the skin is drying out.

Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks

Often rashes that are abraded by licking become infrected with staph or
fungus. This can result in increasingin discomfort for the dog. Your
veterinarian will be able to deterimine whether an antibiotic or
anti-fungal is called for, and hopefully deermine the source of the rash
so your dog can avoid continuing discomfort.
