My dog has red pus-filled bumps on her stomach after mud. What to do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 5 years and 2 months old | 50 lbs

My dog recently, as of a week ago, started getting red, pussey bumps all over her stomach and underside. They showed up right after she played in the mud and had a bath. They haven't gone away, but I'm not sure how to treat them.

Bella could have a skin infection if she has red pus filled bumps all over her belly. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain, so I do recommend that she sees a vet for this today or tomorrow. The vet can diagnose what is causing these bumps and can prescribe medication to treat it.
