My dog has red, inflamed spots on her stomach. What should I do?

Question

My dog has 4 or 5 spots on her stomach that look like warts/ zits. They are very red and inflamed. One is very large and has a black spot in the middle of it. She tried to lick them and I tell her to stop in fear that it will get worse. They just showed up in the last 12 hours.

This would appear to be localized skin infection. You would need to have Betty examined by your veterinarian for confirmation. Infection can be treated systemically with oral antibiotics and/or topically with shampoos. Place an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent further licking until she sees the doctor.
