My dog has red itchy spots on belly, worsening. Should I see a vet?

Question

Hi, my dog had a couple of red spots on his belly when we came back from camping last week, it got worse over the last couple of days since he has been scratching. We gave him a flea treatment and dewormed him Tuesday but it seems to be getting worse :'( could you please help us? Thank you.

You will need to take your dog to a veterinarian for a skin exam. Your dog could be suffering from an allergy, mites, fleas, a bacterial or fungal infection. each of these requires a different treatment, so it is important to find out what is causing the itch. Your vet will do a thorough exam and maybe a a skin scrape. He will then discuss the options with you and then prescribe medications, possibly give an injection to stop the itching.
