My 9 year old beagle/blue heeler mix girl has a couple little white lumps on her skin (tiny, maybe 1 centimeter), there is dried blood around them. What could this be? She also all of a sudden has a little bit of body odor.

It is possible that she has a skin infection, called pyoderma. I would encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian soon. She may need antibiotics or possibly a medicated shampoo. If it is not an infection they may recommend biopsy of the bumps. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
