My dog has a several red spots on her lower stomach behind her right leg. The spot is sticky. She pulls her hair out to the point where it bleeds. It's not hot spots, or allergies. This morning she woke up with pain and was crying

I would be afraid this may be due to pain and discomfort from a tumour or serious infection - please have her assessed by a vet immediately given the pain and discharge you describe this could be very serious
