We have a beagle that was in a pen near a house (30 feet) that burned down. The dog showed no signs of injury, just seemed scared when we got to the fire/ashes 5 hours later. Three days later the dog seemed to be in pain with several tender spots on his neck and one side. We took him to the vet and the vet thinks the dog was burned even though his hair was completely intact. The vet shaved several tender spots and now they have become open sores and are getting larger after 4 days (we're returning to the vet tomorrow). Could a dog's skin burn like this with no visual damage to his hair or is something else going on with our pet? PS-New tender spots seem to be appearing on his other side 8 days later. HELP!!!!!

It is possible that the hair is falling out due to burns. The skin may of been damage because of the heat and now the hair is falling out because of the skin sloughing off. I wouldn't think that they dog was actually burned by the fire, but he may have received a heat burn. I would just follow your veterinarian's perscribed treatment.

I doubt it, but only your vet can say. If he was burned by some chemical a reaction like that could happen, I suppose.

It might be something like rashes or hives from something he ate or has been near. Ask a vet to see if you can figure out his allergies. Hope I help!

could he be having some kind of stress reaction? It does seem really odd that the "burns" are getting worse this much later.
