I've had a good look, can't find any. I know they can get stung by mozzies and suchlike, and those can be dangerous.
She's not been scratching at all lately or particularly today.
No idea.
Aw, no idea then. Hopefully can't be too bad if doggy seems happy though.

It's no "My dog's got no nose"...

>_<
Hope your dog's ok though. Ticks?

Yes, thought of those too, couldn't find any either.
I know I may be overreacting but there's so many of them, the poor thing, if they're mozzie bites it could turn into heartworm.
Nipples?

She's got 9, so what? It's a job finding a bikini top for her.
(sorry, I have no idea what you're asking me)

If so, it might be a bomb.
Has the dog been treated for fleas recently? That might be the first thing to do.

She's been treated for fleas and ticks, yes. I use the Frontline treatment.
Sorry, that just looks like a dog to my untrained eye. Take it to the vets.
I'm going to, it's booked, the earliest I could get was an early evening appointment.
I just wondered if anyone here had had a similar experience or could think of anything else I haven't thought of.
Edit: ok, thanks. I thought that photo showed the bumps quite clearly.
