My dog has a red spot on her leg. She doesnt itch it or anything, but it doesn't look good. I am wondering if there is something i can get to put on it or if i need to go to the vet to get medicine. Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 45 lbs

I agree with you that the area looks very irritated. It's a little difficult to tell from the pictures, but the area actually looks a little thickened or swollen, so I think it is worth having your veterinarian examine it and do some testing to see what might be going on in order to determine the best treatment for Atlas. Good luck! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
