Thank you for submitting your question regarding Brooklynn. She is adorable! She appears to have a superficial skin infection. I would start by bathing her with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based twice per week. This will likely resolve the issue. If it does not, then she will need to see her veterinarian as she may require skin testing and/or an antibiotic. I hope this information helps!
