My senior lab has skin sores with yellow pus. What should I do?

Question

My 12 year old lab just recently broke out only on stomaChristmas with pushy sores yellow pus. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 2 years and 4 months old | 73 lbs

That could be due to a skin infection caused by bacteria (deep pyoderma). Antibiotics and medicated shampoo usually resolve the problem in few weeks. I would strongly recommend to take Hunter to your veterinarian for a check up and confirm this clinical suspicion.
