Tj's Tummy is broke out

[TjAndBritt]

I woke up this morning and noticed Tj's tummy was covered in red bumps and also under his neck. I'm unsure what could've caused this but we have been at my parents the last couple days and he's gotten to play out in the grass more, even in the sprinkler yesterday, which he doesn't get to do at my apartment building. What I'm wondering is if something in the grass may have caused this, they haven't used any chemicals this year or even any since very early last year. Has anyone else had this happen? I've done my best to get a picture, it wasn't too easy trying to get a picture alone with my cell phone and hold him too, it does seem to be less red in the picture than it is in person.

He must've found something that doesn't agree with him! You can give him Benadryl..1 pill for each 25 pounds....but I'm thinking he isn't 25 pounds yet? Then I would give him a bath in an antiseptic shampoo and rinse well. I'm sure it will go away but it might be itchy for him..

Thanks I'll give him a bath, my parents have some anti-itch medicated shampoo for their dog. Hes only a chunky little 11 pounds yet

Becky has you covered.... you can give him 1/2 of a 25mg Benedryl tablet to help if it is itching.

Aww poor guy. You already got great advice above. Hope he feels better soon.

Hope he gets better soon, nothing to add as you have good advise above.

I bathed him, the bumps aren't as red anymore and they don't seem to be bothering him. Thanks all
