Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seeing that Annabella is unspayed and based on your description, I suspect what you are seeing could be mammary tumors that have become ulcerated. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine these so that the most appropriate diagnostics and treatment recommendations can be made. In dogs, 50% of mammary tumors tend to be cancerous and should be surgically removed. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
