My 4-month-old puppy has pimple bumps on her belly. How to treat?

Question

My 4 month old puppy has these like little pimple bumps on her belly, it doesn't look bad right now but I want to know how can I treat it? She's an inside dog and she rarely goes outside. If you can help in anyway possible I would really appreciate it. Thank You. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 15 days old | 10 lbs

I suspect that these are little bumps are due to a bacterial infection (pyoderma). Puppies commonly get this on their bellies and they usually go away with good cleaning. I recommend cleaning the belly with a medicated wipe or shampoo (can get this at the pet store) once a day until the bump(s) are gone. If it seems to get worse, then you'll want to take Mia into the vet for an exam. Below is a link to an article with more information about pyoderma. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/pyoderma-in-dogs Please note that I cannot be sure this is the problem without actually examining Mia, so your best option is to have a vet evaluate her, so they can definitively diagnose it and prescribe the most appropriate treatment. I hope that helps and all is well with Mia.
