I would be concerned that these bumps might be warts, papillomas or even a histiocytoma. A histiocytoma is a non cancerous mass that grows in young dogs. Typicaly it will go away on its own in a few months. However warts and papillomas will not. I would recommend taking Kali to a vet to determine what is the cause and discuss surgical removal if they progress or cause discomfort to Kali
