Based on the symptoms you've described and the images you've provided, it seems that your dog might be dealing with a localized skin irritation or infection. This could be caused by allergies, insect bites, or a mild infection. Here are some steps you can take to help your dog:
Firstly, it's important to keep the affected area clean. You can gently clean it with a mild antiseptic solution or saline to help prevent any potential infection. Additionally, try to prevent your dog from licking the area, as this can exacerbate the irritation. Using an Elizabethan collar, or cone, temporarily might be helpful in this situation.
It's also crucial to monitor the swelling and redness closely. If you notice that it spreads or worsens, it could indicate an infection that requires veterinary attention. Make sure your dog's flea and tick prevention is up to date, as these pests can cause similar symptoms.
If this issue is recurring, it might be worth discussing potential allergies with your veterinarian. Should the condition not improve or if you observe any additional symptoms such as fever or lethargy, I recommend consulting your veterinarian for a thorough examination and possible treatment.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
