redmoor 0 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 That looks like nettle rash to me, my PRT bitch gets this all the time as she is so hairless underneath, i put 1 tsp salt into cooled boiled water and just wash the area down, as long as the spots dont turn pussy it should be fine.
