My dog (6 years old, chihuahua, female) has had flea allergy in the past which resulted in rash on her back. We went to vet and got an oral medicine and it fixed her. Now she has a rash on her stomach... red and a few scattered pimple like thing around genitals and leg crease. She also has a small white and hard lump on her ear which appeared not long ago. Please help

The rash doesn't look too bad but I would recommend having your veterinarian take a look at it and potentially prescribe a shampoo to help with situations like this. If it does appear worse then what the picture shows, she may need another course of oral medication. The ear growth may be a cyst or a small pimple. Your veterinarian can evaluate that also when you bring Pebby in. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
