It looks like Dakota either has irritation or a skin infection from the matts. I would make sure he is licking or scratching at he areas and if he does I would recommend finding a veterinarian to take him too. If it isn't bothering at them I would say I it is ok to wait until next week to find a veterinarian. There isn't anything over the counter to give. Your veterinarian may give oral antibiotics and may give a steroid injection if itching a lot. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
