Hello. It looks like Yukon has some reaction on his skin, but it is impossible to say if this is a mild bacterial infection or an allergic response to something like the grass. It would be best to contact your veterinarian to examine the skin, & then an appropriate medication, shampoo or spray will probably be dispensed to address this. This should clear up the skin pretty quickly. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
