Hi! I wanted to post on here to get thoughts on this. My 1 year old EB has started showing small, raised bumps along her leg and inner belly. It is summertime in New England, and I’ve never tested her for any kind of allergies. Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this or have any idea what it could be?
For food, she is currently on Open Farm Wild Ocean Ancient Grains Rawmix Dog Kibble (no chicken).

red spots on belly looks like contact dermatitis. It's usually an allergic reaction to something they were laying on...walking or running through. Grass is the #1 cause. It doesn't look bad right now but if it gets a lot worse, Benadryl. Try using unscented baby wipes. Wipe down at the end of the day or when your pup comes inside from outdoor activity. Not so sure about the thigh bumps. Could be the same cause or something different, like a staph infection. Watch all of it and if it doesn't improve within a few days, and after a dose or 2 of Benadryl, see vet.

I agree with Chip… probably an environmental allergic reaction.
 
Thanks! I brought her to the vet yesterday and they put her on a steroid (prednisone), and also recommended she take a daily Claritin. I'm going to start the allergy med tomorrow when I get it so hopefully it'll clear it up!

If Claritin doesn’t help Zyrtec worked for our boy
 
Benadryl may help. It is also an antihistamine like Zyrtec and Claritin.
