ew. pus bumps

So about 3 days ago i noticed that my  3 month old shih tzu "sunshine"
Had about 2 sores by her lower stomach area i thought maybe she was chewing on herself.
But then today when i got home i checked on them to see if they were healing but ending up finding 5 more bumps but this time around her Girl area... there was 2 above it but these werent like the other bumps these ones were a little bigger than zits id say medium size with pus. =p
So the lady that i bought her from told me that it could be a yeast infection?!?!?
But shes so little.
sos someone help me

I agree with you 100%, Karla, my first thought was staph infection.  These are usually cleared up fairly easily with a course of antibiotics, but you want to be sure to get it checked out by the vet and start the antibiotics  ASAP before it gets any worse.

Hello and welcome...In my experience, pus filled, pimple like bumps are "Staph" infection. Usually found first on the tummy.  A trip to the Vet for special shampoo and oral antibiotics will take care of the problem. Don't wait too long....They will only get worse! Good luck and please post back with her outcome.......Karla
