Why does my dog have bumps and scabs on his skin after playing?

Question

I have a pit, his name is zeus and he’s about 3 years of age. I was playing with him out side of our house and when we went back inside I went to pet him and found out he has all these bumps on him. I took a closer inspection of him and I figured out he has scabs every with no signs of balding or hair loss on or near them. I was hoping to find a reason for this and a solution.

With the description you provided it sounds like Zeus may have a skin infection. A skin infection can be caused by a few different things. Zeus may have allergies. I would recommend bringing him to your veterinarian to have them evaluate Zeus. He most likely will need antibiotics and potentially a shampoo. If your veterinarian suspects allergies they can discuss different medication options for him. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
