Hey there. It looks like Waffles may be having an allergic reaction to something which is causing the bumps. It may be to a product your groomer used, or it may be coincidental. I would recommend giving him another bath with an oatmeal/aloe shampoo and see if that will sooth the skin. If it doesn't, I'd recommend taking Waffles to your vet and have them check the skin for infection. Best wishes to you and Waffles! Thanks for using Pet Coach.
