I have a four month old Great Dane puppy. She recently developed what at first appeared to be bites on her chest. These have now spread to her legs and up her neck. I am unsure as to whether these really are a lot of bites, or whether it's some kind of rash. They kind of look like bad pimples, but smaller and lots of them. The condition does not seem to be bothering her at all, she is not itching or scratching, and is otherwise healthy.

Hi Celine

This has to be some kind of skin disease. If you have done the basics like good flea control and if the rash is spreading. I would advise a diagnosis and treatment from a vet. The longer you leave it the slower the skin will be to heal.
