my dog has spots that look like chicken pox but they look like theyve been scratched and they kinda bleed a li

What could they be and how can i treat them
Answers:
Does the dog continually itch at these spots, or does he seem to leave them alone for the most part?

We could be looking at anything from flea allergies to mange to a staff infection. Your vet will perform a simple skin scraping to allow him to see the bacteria from the skin under a microscope. This simple test will tell the vet what you are dealing with and the best way to treat it.

You will definetly need to schedule an appointment with your vet for the answer to this one. Hopefully if nothing else, knowing what to expect when you get there will make you feel a little more comfortable. Good luck!
Take the dog to a veternarian.
Sounds like bug bites.
If it was my dog, it would be at the vet's.
The mange is caused by parasites that infest the skin of the dog and end up killing it," I say. "I know the spots infect and has a lot of bacteria and I am pretty sure that's what it is
it could be any number of things from a parasite, to bug bites, to allergies. my dog suffers from chronic allergies and gets very red spots all over his stomach and legs and when that starts, we go to the vet. his problem is easily maintained though with a good diet and occasional medication. whatever it is that your dog is suffering from, i would get it checked it out as soon as possible because your dog is probably very uncomfortable and will feel better with treatment.
take the dog to the vet asap.
