Scabs..again

Okay, I know there was a post on scabs already, but when I was brushing Panda last night, I took off her collar and found 4 on her neck where the collar was....I picked 2 off and they bled...no loss of fur and I couldnt find any more anywhere else on her....Im going to shave her neck tonight but any one have any ideas...and save me $100.00 at the vet?

I would check for fleas, (you may find flea feces and not fleas if they run fast enough..lol) ticks, or possibly spier bites etc.
Another though that just came to mind, is your playdate with Pepsi and Bailey. Dogs almost always nip each others necks while playing, and I would think that it most likely what it is from.
If there is no hair loss, iritation, redness etc, I wouldn't worry too much.
I use frontline on her every month so I dont think it would be fleas or ticks....I havent seen any....I put some neosporin on the ones that I picked (I couldnt help myself) ...could they be ingrown hair?
I really think it is just from the dogs playing together....
Im still going to shave her down really good...heck...we're going to the beach anyway....she'll just have a poodle neck.....chalk it up to another bad haircut...who'll know the difference any way...
I agree, I would bet they are from playing. My Flannigan has them all around his neck from Fergie. Not to worry. :lol:
I find them on Bailey sometimes too, they're never deep so as everyone has said I think they're from nipping while playing.
