Hi there! Puppies get "puppy pyoderma" often which often presents as you have shown in the pictures. This is very common, and easy to treat. Sometimes antibiotics are not required and they go away on their own. If the rash spreads, etc. you can always make an appointment to see your veterinarian to make sure fleas or allergies are not contributing factors! My best to you an Milli. Hope this helps!

Hello, sorry to hear about Jackson. They look very similar to small pustules. Since they are located primarily on his underside, it could be associated with allergies. However, puppies this young can also develop puppy pyoderma which is associated with the growing normal flora of the skin. This is typically self limiting and your puppy should grow from this. In rare cases. the pyoderma may be severe enough that he could require medications such as antibiotics to treat it. Monitor the area and have him evaluated if you note any worsening bumps or if he becomes very itchy and uncomfortable. Hope this helps and best of luck.
