Hello
I really hope someone can help me and my dog.
I have recently noticed a couple of strange circular marks on my dogs chest which I initially thought was ringworm but after a search on Google ruled this out as it is not itchy and there is no hair loss. I took a trip to the vet who were unsure and prescribed an antibacterial spray, this made no difference. I have also noticed another mark near my dogs vagina which looks similar to a blood blister and is a little swollen.
My mum has a new puppy who play fights with my dog and I am wondering if these are ‘war’ wounds as I have today found 2 more of the circular marks on my dog. I have attached some pictures and hope someone may be able to help me as the vet was a little clueless and wanted to give my dog an anaesthetic which I don’t want as she is 12.
Thank you
Amy & Ness

Hello.

Sorry, I'm not going to be very much help, but if they could be from playing with your mum's puppy, keeping them apart for a couple of weeks might give you the answer.

That said, they don't look !Ike injuries. Did the vet do a skin scrape or anything? If they don't clear up and your vet doesn't know, don't be shy about asking for a referral to a specialist.

My first thought was ringworm and it isn't always itchy ..I would see another vet and ask for a skin scrap and yes definitely monitor play with pup let us know how you get on
