My dog has red spots and nipple fluid. Is it false pregnancy?

Question

Hi. I hope you can help us with our dog Mira. My mom noticed this red spots on her vulva. Then upon checking her body there’s like 3-4 more. We have no idea what’s going on. We’re really scared. Can this possibly because of her false pregnancy? She’s producing white/yellowish fluid from her nipples and when I asked in here they said it’s possible of a false pregnancy. She’s still very active but she lost weight. I hope there’s nothing serious going on with her. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I do not think the red skin lesions are related to Mira's false pregnancy. If she was outside in the last day or so they are likely black fly bites. If they are they tend to fade away with in a few days and do not require treatment. If more appears and she hasn't been outside then I would take her to the Vet, especially if you notice pin point spots on her ears or her gums are bleeding. As for the weight loss that is something you should pursue with your Vet, without knowing her age it is hard to provide accurate reasons for weight loss. Some causes are: diabetes, kidney or liver disease, cancer, due to her false pregnancy or intestinal disease (IBD, food allergy). I wish you the best! http://www.southcarevet.com/blog/black-fly-bites-vs-target-lesions/
