It looks like Ami has broken out with a skin infection. Sometimes this can happen very quickly. You must protect the area from licking as this will make it worse. Ami should wear an Elizabethan collar at all times. Your best and fastest option is to have Ami examined by her veterinarian who may prescribe oral medications or potentially just a medicated shampoo. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
