SHE HAS VERY SHORT FUR AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS LITTLE BUMPS ALL OVER HER BODY AND SHE IS NOT REALLY LOSING HER HAIR BUT SHE HAS MARKS ON HER FROM WHERE SHE HAS BEEN SCRATCHING IT AND I JUST GAVE HER A BATH AND IT SEEMS LIKE ITS ONLY GETTING WORSE COULD IT BE THE SHAMPOO OR ALLERGIES?

If i were you, i would go to the vet and get a skin scraping to see if its demodectic mange.

My boy gets this quite a bit. He has very, very thin hair. He has pretty crazy allergies. It starts off with hives and usually ends up in a staph infection. It suckS!~

Ooopps. Forgot to finish. Your dog definetly needs to go to the vet. If he has what my dog gets he needs antibiotics to clear it up. Otherwise it gets worse.

could be allergies (Mollie is allergic to grass, I had another dog that was allergic to grass and fleas). It could also be Demodex... you need to have your vet look at it to rule out Demodex. If it is allergies, sometimes Benadryl will work, unless it's a severe case. Let us know what your vet says.

It sounds like either flea bite dermatitis/pyoderma or food allergy. What are you feeding her and does she have fleas?

Took Dooley to the vet for some bumps on all his body. He got a scraping and got antibiotics and a special shampoo to be used twice a week for 3 weeks :)

My dogs just got finished with treatment for sarcoptic mange & my Dane had bumps everywhere that you could see through his coat. They were caused by the mites burrowing into his skin. As you can see by all the responses, bumps can be caused by numerable things. A vet visit is your best choice.
