pus pockets

[tsutxn09]

One of my dogs has pus pockets all over his belly and even some on his sides in the hair. I have never seen this before and have no idea what it could be. He isn't acting like himself and is limping pretty bad but i think he's limping cause he got hit real hard by a big barr hog 2 nights ago. Any advice is appriciated.

For some odd reason my dogs had the same problem I just put sulfodene oinment and some antiseptic spray after I popped them.  It sounds a little messy but it worked for me good luck.  Not sure what the cause was.  Try this site see if it helps.

Were your dogs in pain? My dog seems like he is in a lot of pain. But he still has an appettite.  Sorry i put the original post under my cousins name by accedent.

Could have been fire ants, try some benadryl.

He could have ran through a briar patch and have thorns broken off all in him... that happens to my dogs quit a bit.

that very well could be it. did they all pus up when it happens to your dogs? and what did you do for it?

The first thing i though was fire ants but some of the pus pockets are the size of a dime. I've never seen a ant bite that big.

Yes, they fester up, pop, scab over and go away on their own... it happens a lot.
