My dog has sores and scabs?

I have a small white dog approx. 7-9 years old. She is a westie/bision/small dog. My mom found a big scab on her head Monday. My mom was petting her tonight (Tuesday). She has these scabs all over her stomach. There is about 7+ They are about the size of an easer head on your average pencil. My mom cut the hairs around them and put peroxide on them. We are trying to get her into the vets. But we can't till sometime into the 20's of November. She was diagnoised with erliciosus(sp?) (like lyme) when we got her (bout 7 years ago). A week ago she had some small bumps my mom picked off. She also has small pin sized black dots. She has been coughing alot too. Shes extremly itchy. Shes rolling around on the carpet and constantly scratching. I also have a big dog with sensitive skin but she doesnt seem to have anything.



Are any of the things going on with my dog linked? Do you have any clue what they are? Anything we can do to relive it?

what area do you live in? If you live in the western states chance are it's a skin allegy could be carpet,fleas, food, does the black dots pop out or are they flush to the skin. for the over all skin sores use can use head and shoulders twice a week try this until you get in to see the vet. and get some hypoallergenic food

Maybe your dog has fleas? My Pug had them several times and when fleas bite, they leave a bump where they had bitten her. Fleas do leave small dots, the size of the end of a pencil, this is flea poo. Her having fleas would explain why she is rolling around on the floor, trying to scratch where it itches. My Pug is really sensitive to flea bites, She gets bumps all over her even if a flea has bitten her a couple of times. Give her a flea bath or get Frontine spray to put on her.
