My dog is not herself and squeals when I touch her armpit.

Question

She's been not herself lately she won't jump up on us like she usually does and when we go to grab her like why her armpit she squeals and I just took a look in her armpit and this is what I seen I think it might be fleas but she doesn't have fleas real bad we got her on advantix but she's a short haired dog so I maybe thought they were living in armpit maybe. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 50 lbs

Fleas actually live in the environment, not on the dog. They jump on the dog to feed, and then jump off. Misty may have a rash, and it sounds like it's painful to her. I'd have her checked out by a vet.
