5day old pup has sores or ulcers under his tail and on his belly. He is a big healthy looking boy who is feeding well.

Any ideas what could be causing this? He, nor mum have fleas, etc. Any recommended treatments before going to the vet for antibiotics?

saradale, how is your puppy?

Puppy is doing very well. Is on a mild antibiotic and sores appear to be clearing up. Vet was not 100% sure of diagnosis, but we did not do bloods or anything at this point. We didn't want to put the little guy through too much stress at such a vulnerable age, but if antibiotics didn't work, we would look at next port of call.

Hopefully he is on the mend and we won't need to address this issue again!

Thanks for all advice. :)

I had a baby with little sores under his tail, it was from mum not cleaning him properly, antibiotics, and cleaning the spot with warm water and applying betadine liquid twice a day cleared it up in no time :)

Goodluck with your little one :)
