The pictures are difficult to see, but I wonder if your dog is dealing with some small bumps secondary to insect bites (e.g. Mosquitoes, ants). If this is the case they should be expected to resolve over the course of 1-2 weeks. Another type of small skin bump that does NOT typically resolve with time is a sebaceous cyst. It would be unusual to see such a number of them develop all at once though. If the bumps do not start to resolve on their own then please schedule Zane an appointment with your regular veterinarian to have the bumps evaluated.
