My dog has a scab on her leg near her bum. When should I see a vet?

Question

I've found a small scab type spot on the top of my dogs leg near her bum. She's a 7 month old Dalmatian. Should I take her to the vets? Pet's info: Dog | Dalmatian | Female | spayed | 7 months and 8 days old | 26 lbs

You could clean the spot with an antiseptic wound cleaner and see if it heals. Otherwise, have your vet take a look at it to prescribe medications. She may need an antibiotic and/or an anti-inflammatory to treat.
