My dog has bumps on his groin after tick fever treatment. What is it?

Question

Dog was diagnosed with tick fever. Was treated for 30 days now has bumps that look like bites or pustules around groin. Have not seen a tick in over a month. Could this be unrelated? Is this likely the tick fever and it hasn't cleared up. One of my other dogs had a similar mark once about 2 weeks ago, the other 2 dogs have had no issues. Help! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 75 lbs

This looks like a bacterial skin infection. It is not very likely to be related to the tick issue. Sometimes a medicated shampoo bath helps clear this up but other times oral antibiotics are needed. If this is not gotten better in the next 1 to 2 days I would contact your veterinarian to discuss antibiotics for Opie.
