Hello, I’m concerned with bumps that are all over my dobermans skin. They have been present for week. Most located in shoulder blade region. I gave him Benadryl this morning just in case it’s allergies. I’m concerned it might be mites. All help will be appreciated, thank you.

These bumps could be from an allergic reaction, mites, fleas, or a skin infection. Because Benadryl hasn't helped and Kylo has had these bumps for a week, it's time to see the vet. The vet can diagnose the cause of the bumps, and can prescribe the correct treatment for them. I would take him into the vet in the morning. I hope this helps!
