7 month old GSP pup- just noticed this evening- 8-10 red, noticeable bumps around the outside of both front leg elbows- about BB size, no secretions. I haven't found anything anywhere else. Any ideas? Might be a trip to the vet Monday!

My dog gets the same thing at our NSTRA trial grounds in the spring. The first time , I was ready to go to the vet. The next year i found it affected lots of the dogs. One dog had to go on steroids because of an allergic reaction to what ever it was causing the pimples. We still havn''t found the cause. I use a skin/coat spray that contains tree tea oil on the dog after each run at that location in the spring. A plant? mites ?

My vet says it is the ooze from new Spring plant growth .
