Mucus filled bumps/rash on puppy's belly?

Mucus filled bumps on my puppies belly?


Hi
Without more information it's difficult to be sure, but my best guess would be a staph infection.

This is fairly common when puppies spend a lot of time lying on a non-absorbent surface and their tummies are wet. Puppies pee a lot and if their mom isn't keeping them clean, they're orphans, their bedding is wet, they pee in their crate and then lie in it .... or many other similar reasons, then a staph infection can set in.

I'd strongly recommend that you take your pup/puppies to see your veterinarian as a staph infection requires anti-biotics. Of course, I could be wrong and it could be something else entirely, but I would still suggest that you see the veterinarian anyway. Only he can make a definitive diagnosis.

Best of luck!
