Bumps on head

[chewie688i]

New to the forum, figured I would ask your advice on these bumps that have started to appear. Hard to the touch, like a small zit or scab, no blood, not sensitive to touch and doesn't appear to bother her. I have a normally scheduled vet appointment next week, so I'm not overly concerned, but any advice you could throw my way I'd appreciate it.

Any hair loss around the bumps?

A little. We noticed one a few days ago and figured it was a scratch from playing with our other dog, but a second showed up about a day ago. No where else, just on the top of her head.

The allergies of one of my Frenchies manifested themselves in little bumps. They would come and go seasonally. They also would go away with allergy medication. You can see some of the spots on left side of his head.

It could be staph infection or the start of mange if she is under a year old mange is a possibility but over a year it looks like a staph infection that appointment is needed either way

I was thinking possibly staph as well. My bulldog got some similar bumps on his back when he was younger and antibiotics cleared it right up.

She's just turned nine weeks. Looks like we'll find out next week. Any reason to push the appointment sooner?

Not really, but I’d ask them to contact you if something comes available..... my guess is mange and you’ll want to get her on a good probiotic to help strengthen her immune system

I changed it to Monday morning (first available). Besides the probiotic, anything I can do to help her out?

No worries, just trying to do what I can. It doesn't seem to bother her, so I've got that going for me lol
