Hello. I am sorry little Marley has a rash on her belly. It does look like a bit of a skin infection. Underlying cause for this could be allergies (environmental, food, fleas, etc), moisture, or that she is lying in something (does she crawl on the ground outside in the wet grass- even just moisture on the skin can do this). I would do 1 of 2 things, 1- get a collar so she doesn't self-trauma make it worse and see if it resolves in a few days, or 2- bring her to the vet now while it has flared up, and have them look to see if she has fleas, or any other underlying cause. Good luck with little Marley.
