What are these flat, red, non-itchy spots on my dog's belly?

Question

My dog suddenly has a bunch of red spots on his stomach, chest and groin. They are not raised, and do not seem to be itchy. One is very target-shaped in appearance. Can you please tell me what these are? Pet's info: Dog | Fox Terrier | Male | neutered | 11 years and 5 months old | 15 lbs

These are likely fly or insect bites. They should fade in the next day or two. If he begins to itch, contact your veterinarian for a dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Place an e-collar (cone) on him to prevent licking. These bites are common in the Spring.
