It’s on the left side of her tummy


It sounds like your dog is experiencing some discomfort with redness on her underbelly, along with itching and coughing. These symptoms can arise from various causes, such as allergies—whether environmental or food-related—skin infections, or irritation from something in her surroundings.
To help alleviate her symptoms at home, you can start by gently cleaning the affected area with a mild, pet-safe cleanser to remove any potential irritants. It's also important to monitor the redness closely, noting any changes in size, color, or if it spreads. Additionally, keep an eye on whether her coughing or itching increases.
Try to minimize her exposure to potential allergens, such as certain cleaning products, plants, or foods that could trigger a reaction. Ensuring her flea and tick prevention is up to date is also crucial, as bites from these pests can lead to skin irritation and redness.
For some immediate relief, you might consider applying a cool compress to the area to soothe her skin and reduce itching.
However, if the redness persists, worsens, or if her coughing continues, it would be advisable to consult with a veterinarian. They can conduct a thorough examination and may suggest specific treatments or tests to determine the underlying cause.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
