My Dog Has A Rash On Her Belly And Armpits. Today we noticed that our dog Molly has a pinkish to slightly red rash under both armpits. Things such as coconut oil milk of magnesia or aloe Vera gel or cream will help alleviate the itching. His ears were very dry and flaky and swollen similar to his stomach and armpits until I got a few days of antibiotics in him got the swelling down and used an anti-fungalmicrobrial cont My first determination was food as I started him on Iams Puppy. During a biopsy your dog will be sedated and a piece of the affected area removed.
I switched to Pedigree Puppy and it got worse. In rare cases biopsies are necessary to determine the cause of your dogs belly rash. My german shepherd has an itchy rash on his undersidelower chest armpits and stomach area. The most common food allergies in dogs are beef dairy chicken corn wheat soy and yeast. There is also a little bit around her mouth. A rash redness or irritation can occur on any part of your dogs skin but is commonly seen on the belly.
The area is not hot to the touch.
If you do not have any of these things in your home try mixing a little baking soda and water together. I have thought the same of a food allergyLayla 4 yr old Boxer has been on this food for 2 years until now we have had no trouble. A dog with a skin rash may also be reacting due to an allergy to the preservatives dyes and fillers in his diet. My boxer has been getting rashes under her front armpits this is the 4th time its occurred. Each time I take her to the vet they put her on meds and it goes away within a week. Either way it did produce an unclean odor but did not smell rotten.
