My 1.5 year old lab has red sore spots that turn into scabs on his belly. He has had them for a while, but they never seemed serious or a problem. He had skin issues about a year ago when he was just a puppy. I put him on premium food and it went away, but he has always been a bit itchy I believe, and it is not fleas. I’m wondering if it’s allergies or if it’s serious that I need to go to the vet. Last time I took him to the vet she acted like I was stupid because I brought him in because he was itching a lot. She had asked me if I ever owned a dog, which I have when living with my parents. I’m a 21 year old college student and this is my first dog that is mine and I make all the decisions for. So I want to know if this is serious enough to go to the vet.

My dog has what look like black scabs on his body. They are not on his belly or legs. Just on his head, ears & back. He does have allergies & I was giving him an antihistimine & steroid but ran out & never had it refilled so he went about 3 weeks without it. I recently started giving him Benedryl again. Took him to the vet but vet has no clue what it is so prescribed him a 500 mg cephalexin (steroid) 3x per day & told to increase the mg of Benydryl & watch him. Vet said steroid may make it heal slower, but should help any discomfort. She said nothing about mange & I’ve seen pictures of this and it doesn’t look like mange. He doesn’t have fleas either. Could the allergies cause the skin to get sores & scab? She also said to bathe him in the medicated shampoo we have.

she seems to be itching more than usual and the scabs can be picked off withouth showing an open sore nor does it bother her when we do this…she acts like she is not feeling well but will still play and jump around…she is missing a small spot of hair on her head where a scab was and maintains a good appetite…not sure what is going on here if it is a version of mange, allergies, fleas, or something else…can anyone help me out? should i be taking her to the vet? thanks

I am wondering if she may have an allergy. What is the common food allergy in dogs? We had treated her for ringworm for over six months and she has gotten better but we can’t get rid of these scabs on her.
