I’m not sure if the lighting makes the skin look normal in your picture, or if the rash you are describing is faint enough to not show up on the picture, but her skin appears fairly normal to me. The brown spots I see are normal pigmentation variants. Often times mild skin problems in young dogs are bacterial and bathing in a shampoo that has chlorhexidine or salicylic acid can be helpful. These can be found in the human shampoo aisle in the dandruff area. If it does not seem to help then I would encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian soon. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Poor Hanuli! Sometimes their skin on their belly will become darker as they age but with the redness it could indication an allergy or an infection. You can try giving 100mg Benadryl (4 adult tablets) twice a day to see if that helps. If it isn’t improving or worsens then I would have your vet look at it. Your vet will be able to prescribe stronger allergy meds or even antibiotics if needed. I hope this helps!

This sounds like and looks like allergies with a possible secondary infection. It appears she needs antibiotics and maybe some.stronger allergy medications and maybe a prescription food trial. I would recommend getting her checked again with your veterinarian or for a second opinion. Good luck

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to an infection, ringworm or allergies though it is hard to know without an examination. I recommend that you consider taking her to your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They could check what seems to be the issue and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a good night!
