Hello. First let me say that I am not sure if I am in the right place to be asking a medical type of question as I am new to this forum, but hopefully I am....

Hi - My Golden is 11 years old and has been very healthy his whole life. This past summer he developed hot spots which the Vet said was normal and put him on on a steroid. The spots went away but he has been itching ever since. He is on allergy medicine and just finished an antibiotic course...

A couple little bumps came up on the tip of my dogs ear flap. They have grown a little and are flaky. They're kinda like a callus like dead skin. Now I notice he has them on both ears. They are only on the tips.

Didn't want to hijack another thread so starting one here. Any ideas what these pink bumps are about? My pup is 16 months old and may have had a couple bumps/scabs on occasion. Just noticed many more of them now. Notice the pink bumps, scabs, and tiny black dots too. When she was a pup I was...
