I was petting her and felt a bump on her shoulder and then one on her ear... I just found another one towards her belly so I went into the light and spread open the fur to see what is goin on. She has all this crust built up in these spots... it almost looks like they are scabs/scars but I can't really tell... she also seems a itchier than usual. What are these scabs/extra skin/bumps???? Please help...

Ok, this is scary. So I'm on the east coast and the vet is closed. I can go in the morning or I can take her to the emergency clinic tonight .... are these things you mention emergency or can I wait to see our vet in the AM?

Turns out this was a skin fungus ... I just need to use a special shampoo for a month to clean it up. Thanks!

Hi.. if your dog is acting ok, not lethargic, is drinking, eating, peeing and pooping ok, then you should be able to wait until morning. It doesn't sound like something life threatening that would need attention this very moment. If your dog is acting weird in, though, you might want to take a trip to the emergency vet. Good luck!

sometimes they can get skin infections that cause these weird situations. Also, fungal issues would be a concern. You should probably take her to the vet so they can run some diagostics on her to see exactly what's going on before it gets any worse.

Take her to the vets but hate to say without seeing it sounds like mange and needs the correct treatment
