What's causing my puppy's rash on its stomach and back legs?

Question

I recently noticed what appears to be a rash on my puppy's stomach and back legs. What could be the cause? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 23 days old | 10 lbs

Puppies have very sensitive skin, and that can leave them prone to skim infection. I suspect that Willow has puppy pyoderma (a skin infection). You need to have her seen by a vet to have this diagnosed and treated.
