My dog has scabs with pus on her neck. What should I do?

Question

Hello I'm looking for advice on what my dog may have, around her neck she gets scabs that puss if squeezed they aren't that big and there's not many scabs (3-4) but they don't seem to bother her to much. Pet's info: Dog | Catahoula Leopard Dog | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 17 days old

It sounds like she has a bacterial skin infection around her neck. You could bathe her with a medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps. If not, have her examined by a vet for treatment. She may need an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory to help.
