Hi and thank you for your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is very hard to say whether or not Bluey has a skin infection. The picture is a bit blurry and it is hard to see what is going on. In order to diagnosis a skin condition in Bluey, he will need to have a few simple skin tests performed by his veterinarian. Mite infection, fungal infection, or bacterial infection are all possibilities. This needs to be confirmed with an exam and a few simple skin tests. Best wishes to you and Bluey!
