spots???

[frankie123]

Frankie has 3 spots really close together under her chin, there not red or anything just under skin spots, ive attached a picture of them its not very clear though,

she also has several spots on her belly, shes had some of these for a while i just thought there were like a nappy rash sort of spots as they come and go, but i was away for a few days this week and when i got back 2 of them have got really bad and turned into sort of blisters,

i flee her with spot on, which my mum told me is rubbish so maybe they could be flee or tick bites? any ideas? im going to take her to the vets after work on Monday but was just wondering if anyone had any ideas what they could be. Also, what make flee stuff would you recommend in future, my mum told me to get frontline i think it was but when i asked at vets they dont stock it

Juvenile spots under the chin and on the belly are fairly common and in my experience don't require any special treatment unless they do not disappear or become infected, when antibiotics do the trick pretty quickly (a bit like spotty teenagers). Not sure how old Frankie is though. If you think she may have fleas the best way to check is to stand her over a couple of pieces of damp kitchen towel and give her a good rub. Any flea poos should drop off onto the paper and will show as red/brown spots. If there are poos then there are fleas, even if you don't see them!

To me they look like infected bites, esp the blistered ones.
Dab some white vinegar on and smother in vaseline, hopefully in a day or two should get better Repeat this 3-4 times a day x

Forgot to say I use frontline combo for all mine, kills everything Wouldnt use anything else
