I had a part westie terrior who was allergic to frontline had to go with a different kind terriers are prone to allergies and do have sensitive skin. pat some whitch hazel on his back to soothe the itch. you can find it in most drug stores or wallmart. also great for itching skin in humans soothes any kind of bite. this will help until u can get him to the vets for an allergy shot and a change of meds. by the way you did not mention when you put him on the front line. did you notice this after a few days on the front line or before you started the frontline?also try a lesser dose on the next kind dont go to the exact weight. get the one for lesser weight and get the one that kills fleas ,eggs and also worms. a little more cost but well worth the extra. have you tried program?

sound like an allergic reaction to the frontline maybe?? Could just be the fleas have accumulated there. Call your vet but in the mean time you can give her a benedryl tablet. That will help with the itching and biting. Benedryl is ok for dogs.

your dog could just have sensitive skin or could be allergic to something. i would bath her in an oatmeal bath and see if the bumps subside. puppies have sensitivities just like babies so be carefull what you are putting on her the frontline may be to blame. the oatmeal bath will moisturize and hopefully help with the itching. you can also go to petco or petsmart ask one of the reps there and i know at petsmart you can bring her in with you, they may know what it is they see dogs all the time hopefully this will work untill you can get here into the vet. good luck and repremand her for biting at it it will only make it worse

Could be fleas even if she is taking frontline, could possibly be chigger bites too. Whatever it is I'm sure she will be grateful for a trip to the vet with no shots and something to help her stop itching!!

This could be a rash from like itching or maybe it allergic. If its a rash just dont let him/her itch it will go away eventuall. If he/her is allergic to something find out what and get rid of it.

Does she itch? She might have scabies or worms.My dog had scabies and we got him on antibiotics and he was fine. Get her to a Vet. Just some advice... don't take her around other dogs until you know for sure what it is. Scabies is very contagious.

probably just "puppy acne" but could be an allergic reaction. I would not do anything until you take your pup to your vet.
