My dog has belly bumps in winter. Could snow moisture be the cause?

Question

My dog has these little bumps on her belly, and wondering what it could be from? Possible that the moister from the snow when coming inside could be an issue? It is winter time where we live. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 60 lbs

HI, thanks for using PetCoach! From your picture the bumps appear to pustules or papules. It could be a skin infection. Skin infections can start from allergies or increased moisture. If it is localized to that small area you can try a medicated shampoo and if she is licking read this: https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/. Bathe the area 2-3 times per week and leave the lather on for 10 mins. If there is no improvement or it worsens she should see a Vet for an exam. Usually oral antibiotics are used for skin infections. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=27975 I hope this helps and I wish Dessy the best!
