My Spoty Baby

[Paul O]

Hi my 6 Month Old Girl often gets spots on her chin and belly.
They seem to last a week or so then disapear but then another appears.
is this common with boxers as i have been told that they are prone to a spot of achne.

Any advice would be welcome.

What kind of spots? Are they like insect bites?

Pimples are very common in adolescent boxers. They will come and go until they are around 2 years of age. If they are getting pimples on their chin you might want to make sure that their bowls aren't plastic as it tends to harbour bacteria. Stainless steel or ceramic are much better.

No They are more like pimples i think the ones on her belly are from the beach.
i have started to wash her belly when se has been playing in the sand and that has seemed to help at the momment she is spot free.
Cheers

My 6 month old Rocky has acne on his chin and has had it off and on since i've got him. It did get quite bad though and so we are currently doing a 3 week set of antibiotics called Novo Lexin twice daily and washing his face every 24hrs with Pyoben Shampoo that we have to leave on for 5 minutes and then wash off. If this doesn't work we may have to do another round of the meds but his face already looks much better. If they don't clear up and start to bother your puppy, you might want to consider taking her into the vet.
