Question:
MY 4 YR OLD AMER. ESKIMO SPITZ HAS BEEN LICKING HIS RECTUM A LOT THE LAST 2 DAYS. I HAVE CHECKED AND I SEE NOTHING THERE THAT IS VISIBLE AND I HAVE CHECKED HIS FECES AND IT ALL LOOKS NORMAL. (?) THIS MORNING I NOTICED A ROUND SORE ON THE LOWER UNDERSIDE NEAR HIS MALE ORGAN. IT IS RED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SORE BUT ALMOST CLEAR AND A BIT MOIST ON THE INSIDE OF IT. (?) I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. HIS BROTHER IS FINE, NO PROBLEMS. RAGE (THATS HIS NAME) HAS BEEN EATING FINE, HIS ATTITUDE IS THE SAME AS ALWAYS, AND HE STILL PLAYS WITH HIS BROTHER AS ALWAYS. THEY DO NOT SPEND MUCH TIME OUTSIDE, MAINLY JUST TO USE THE BATHROOM. ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS? THANKS!

Answer:
Hi,

I'd put some kind of topical antibiotic cream on it just to be safe.

Let the vet take a look if it gets worse or during his next checkup.
