She has a red rash on her lower belly area and then every where else on her skin she has like a red spot/bump type thing... what could have caused this? She is a golden retriever.

Sounds like me when I get an allergic reaction
I would take her to the vet, it could be a sign of something more serious.

It does sound like an allergy... I would look at the food... we have one dog who is allergic to chicken and salmon..... lamb is ok....
There are lotions that you can get for a short term fix but I would definitely at least call the vet.... or take the little one in!
allergy tests are expensive just so you know!! I would see what the doc has to say.....
Good luck!

She may be having an allergic reaction. Has she eaten anything new lately. You may want to take her to the vet. Is she scratching? Maybe your vet can give you some non-itch med.

is it hives? If it is, she is having a reaction to something....maybe try wetting her down to wash whatever is on her off...Is her face swollen too? that could be a spider bite that she is reacting to. If that is the case, she needs to be seen by a vet tonight..call your local animal ER.....If it is pyoderma....or a hotspot, and if she isn't digging at it or upset by it, it can wait until the A.M.

It could be allergies or a urinary tract infection. My black lab had a urinary tract infection and along with it she had a rash. Take your dog to the vet and get her examined. Urinary tract infections are nothing to mess with and are very uncomfortable for your dog.

sounds like allergies , take her to the vet , one of my females had an allergy to something last fall and they gave her a shot and she healed up , also check to make sure she has no fleas , they can cause dogs to breakout
