Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 14 years and 4 months old | 8 lbs
This just recently started and I'm not sure what it is. At first it started with her genital area, then it spread to her legs and stomach. She licks at it a little bit. She is scheduled for a vet visit on the 25th but I just want to know if I should be worried or not.

It looks like she may have a skin infection. Your vet may want to prescribe an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory to help treat. You could bath her with an anti-microbial dog shampoo and see if that helps. Maybe your vet can see her sooner then the 25th so she can be examined and treated sooner.
