hi i was wondering if any one would be able to help me
i have a staffie bitch and ive noticed what looks like boils under her skin along her back....it seems to have just come up today....she doesnt seem to be scratching but im a bit concerned incase its anything serious.
any advice would be appreciated
thanks adele

It sounds a bit like an allergic reaction; has she eaten anything she shouldn't have, or been in contact with something unusual?

has she just had a booster injection or anything like that

have you used wormers  or flea treatment eg advocat

It would not hurt to give a couple of anti histamine tablets use the non-drowsy something like Piriton. It should have an effect within an hour.

From the brief description, it sounds very similar to something my Stafford bitch had years ago too.
We never did find out what she had come into contact with, but it was definitely out on a walk, so assume either nettle stings or some type of insect bite.
I too would recommend an anti-histamine (IF the lumps/bumps are some sort of bite/sting/allergic reaction), though I would only recommend giving half a tablet.  Plenty for a Stafford b*tch.
Try it for a couple of days max. and if that hasn't worked, then a trip to the vet is probably my best advice.
