AboutKaren Brittan Expertise I have been showing miniature schnauzers in conformation, obedience, and earthdog for forty years, and am a professional dog groomer.
I am not a veterinarian and cannot answer questions of a veterinary nature. However, I can give my opinion or share some experiences on some health issues. If your dog is sick, it should be seen by a licensed professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Experience I have taught obedience classes and have taught people how to groom for many years.

Question Hi,
I just looked at my dogs stomche today because she is pregnet. when I was looking at her stomche I noticed a red scab and then three other red bumps next to it. There are also one or two scabs up by her under arm. I made a appointment but my vet cant get me in for a weak and a half. The question I wanted to ask is there any shampoos I can get for her at a pet supplie market or I hear that tea tree oil shampoo might be good for her but I also wanted to use something natural because she is pregnet. One more thing I wanted to add she is a chiwowa
Answer This is one reason we have more than one veterinarian. If we cannot get into one fairly quickly, we often can get into one of the others.
If this should be a staph infection, I don't know of any shampoo that will really work on it. You might try dabbing Listerine, the mouthwash, on these spots. It might not clear them up, but it might hold them at bay and keep them from spreading.
Have her seen as soon as you can, and be sure that the vet knows that she is pregnant.
