Pet Chat: Forums Dog with red skin?

Hi, I'm Claire & this is my first post here, hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction with my problem! I've got 2 'furkids' - 2 male Shih Tzu's. The oldest one, who's 8, has developed very red skin on his underside, particularly his 'arm pits' over the last couple of weeks. It doesn't seem to bother him, it's not weeping, flaky or sore, just very red. He's got very thin hair (result of cancer 7 years ago) so I thought it maybe sun burn or similar but it's on the underside. Is this something I should see the vet about?

If so, it might be sunburn if he sunbathes on his back. One of my dogs is a sunworshiper, and she has red armpits and belly area. I keep slapping suntan lotion on her .... but still she gets red. She wont lie in the shade, no matter how much i try Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2008 2:27 pm CatSlave Packleader Joined: Jun 11, 2005 Posts: 283 Age: 37 No.Of Pets: 10+ Pet Types: cats Karma: 0 Thank Location: Norfolk Medals: None 466 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Sorry for being the one to say this - BUT if your dog has fleas the excrament from these and doggy saliva will be red on the fur and this will show most in areas like armpits, bottom of tail etc. Might be worth checking and remember that if it is fleas (all dogs get them!) then rememberto worm your dog as well as the tw go hand in hand. Get a vet to check to be sure .

Took Toby to the vets this morning. Their first thought was Cushing's Disease but as he is only showing a few symptoms they are not to concerned. They're treating him for a skin infection, which involves creams, antibiotics and a funky little cone over his head for the forseeable future! They also picked up he had an ear infection which was completely unknown to us - more pills and drops. We came home almost £200 worse off but he's worth it! The vet called him a hardy little fella!

I'm sure the 200 will be worth it in the long term, as it could have developed into something more serious. Hope he's ok.
