Answer #1

You said you have a toy poodle right? They are prone to skin infections. Has the vet given you anything for him? If so make sure you use it everyday. Also some karba dust is a good idea for any dog as it keeps bugs away but isn’t abrasive to their skins.

Answer #2

The vet hasn’t given anything for his spots. I dunno. And what exactlyis karba dust?

Answer #3

and yes he’s a poodle

Answer #4

Karba dust is just well a type of dust that you put on them (it’s safe for all animals including puppies and small dogs) and it keeps insects away. You should ask your vet for something for him.
