Errm.. not so sure abt the black spot.. (ticks issit?)

But the yellowish one mite have pus.. my dog used to have it on his ears.. what i did was squeeze the puss out (of coz wait till the time is rite) and then clean the area with t3 oil.. heal completely now.. but dunno if your dog is xperiencin the same thing...

Hi ...

If its just a couple of spots ... clean the area with a mild salt solution (say one tablespoon of salt (sea or natural salt is good) in a mug of warm water) ... and keep the area clean. Observe and see if the spots clear up ...

T-tree oil is also good ... might be a good idea to dilute the t-tree oil before use though ... a puppy's skin is sensitive.

T-tree oil, aloevera, salt ... are all mild antiseptics with antifungal properties ...

But if you find a lot of pustules (pimple-like spots with pus) ... then its best to take your dog to a good vet and get some tests done to make sure it is nothing serious ...

In the meantime, you can do a search on ..."pustules" ... "skin condition" ... and "mange" ... Try this thread: ... http://www.puppy.com.my/...psed;page=last;#last

Cheers Smile
