Thank you for submitting your question regarding Harley. The pictures came through kind of blurry, but she does appear to have a rash. A common cause this time of year is seasonal allergies. You can try bathing her with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula to help soothe the skin. If this does not resolve the issue, then you should take her to see her veterinarian. She may need an antibiotic if there is an infection or an anti-itch medication. I hope this information helps!
