Take the dog to a vet. What ever it is it needs treated...

I hope it is not mange. Have him checked

maybe he could have just scratched it while looking through a hole in a fence etc. But nevertheless it's always best to get a second opinion if you are not sure or concerned.



Try the PDSA it is free after all

I believe your seeing a Hot Spot. It can get nasty and needs to be kept clean. Neosporan help to heal it.



Cause may be from dirt or sand in the hair roots. If it looks bad, seek medical attention.



Best of luck

Give your dog a nice warm water bath with dettol in the water and use the shampoo that you use for urself. Your dogs coat with be nice and soft and the dog will feel much healthier and active and better and wont get any sores.

You need to get some liquid antibacterial soap and make a good suds and soak the area until you can pull all that matted hair from am around these areas. After the hair is removed dry the area well and put some gold bond powder on it. If you don't see an improvement in a couple days see you Vet.

If in doubt go to the vets. If they are ticks then it is best to get the vet to remove them. It doesn't cost that much so if I were you I would book him in ASAP

No one can possibly diagnose what is wrong with your dog here. Take him to the vet, whatever it is, it needs to be treated sooner rather than later before it gets worse. It could be anything, eczema, flea allergy or any number of other things - doesn't sound like ticks though.

get your dog checked out by the vet

There are a number of reasons which could explain why your dog has sores. As well as hot spots, mange, fleas or ticks he could have an allergy or an underlying health problem.



The best advice I can give is to take him to the vet who will check him over and give a professional opinion.



Trying to attend to his sores yourself could cause more problems in the long run.

get your dog checked by your vet could be an allergy

I am most alarmed having read some of the answers, do not use detol its not meant for dogs and dont use human shampoo or antibacterial soap the best thing is plain boiled water cooled with some salt about a large teaspoon per pint of water, gently clean the area with the solution and cotton wool if its weeping ie leaking clear fluid and wont dry up even after several bathings with the solution go to the vets it doesnt sound like ticks unless its an area thats got infected, keep it clean and dry, leave the collar off and try to stop the dog scratching it.

yes and most likely they are ticks to remove a tick you must get the head of the tick out they carry infectious diseases and if you dont the the dog could very possibly die.
