Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bella. She appears to have a bad rash. This can be an allergic reaction to something she encountered in her walk or even the result of insect bites or stings. I would recommend bathing her with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. If her skin is not looking better by the morning, she will need to see her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
