My dog has white bumps all over her body. What could they be?

Question

My pup is pretty much covered in bumps that are kind of white on the top. She has them covering her entire back down to her tail and they begin on her face. This began about a week ago. Nothing has been changed in her diet or where she goes. She is not showing any changes in her activity. What could be the issue ?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These could be benign or malignant growths such as mast cell tumors. It could be an infectious or immune mediated disease though that seems less likely. This is most of the time differentiated with a test called a fine needle aspirate which is easy, cheap and pain-free. Sometimes, a biopsy is required for a diagnosis. Have Selene evaluated by your veterinarian to have this test performed to try to sort out what the diagnosis is so that the best course of action can be determined. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is something benign!
