My poor baby.
Bruce is suffering from a nasty itch with small bumps in his chest and belly. If he scratches too hard, the bumps pop and he'll get a small scar. It's like having small pox for dogs. It gets frustrating to see him scratch and we've been observing for a week on how these small bumps tend to multiply.
My sister said this also happened to her friend's dog. It was caused by an allergic reaction to a particular dog food, which main ingredient was chicken. But Bruce's food is top notch and Harvey and Chivas eat it too from time to time, but nothing happened to them.
Poor Bruce. According to petmed.com, these itchy bumps are caused by 2 things: Allergies and Parasites.
Bruce doesn't have a parasite as far as we can tell. He gets to take a bath three times a week using dog-formula shampoo. He also has less hair so we could immediately see if there was even a small flea. I think I will be getting him a Dr. Kaufman soap from now on. That's what Harvey and Chivas use anyways.
So I'm betting that this is caused by allergies. Allergies to what? I have no idea. He may be allergic to dog food or his blanket or some plants. Thinking about it, he sleeps in cold dirt sometimes, in my mom's now-destructed garden.
Colorless bumps are slowly multiplying in his elbow, chest, neck and tummy area. He scratches heavily from time to time. I don't want this to get worse. I don't want him to feel uncomfortable either. I am an allergy magnet myself so I could definitely relate.
He'll go to the vet today. I hope it's not that serious and he'll be okay soon.
I can't wait to figure what caused this.
