Cause for Concern?

I have been outside for a few hours gardening with Haley and recently while playing with her noticed several small bright red spots on her belly! I am concerned they may be insect bites that could be harmful...any experience or knowledge of what it may be and suggestions??!! Thank You!!!

I had the same with my dogs - turned out to be black flies.

Have a friend whose border collie gets these from time to time...her magic cure is bag balm!

Bag balm or not I'm sure your girl will be fine unless she's scratching enough to break the skin!
