My Mini Poodle As Small “bumps” Increasing All Over Body. What Could This Be Caused By?
My 8 year old mini poodle has an ever increasing number of “small bumps” that are fairly solid and very flaky when touched. Some are quite small but others are a little larger (pea size). They are not itchy and don’t seem to cause her any distress but over the past couple of months they have spread over most of her body (except her head). They don’t ooze or bleed and it doesn’t look like an allergy. Does anyone know what this problem might be?

These small “bumps” could anything. Without seeing them or having more information it’s hard to help.
I’d suggest you take your dog to the vet for a thorough look. They’ll be able to check them out and if they feel necessary will be able to do a skin scraping and look at it down the microscope. They’ll be able to tell you if it’s a mite or an allergy, if it’s a bacterial or a fungal infection and they’ll be able to provide you with a treatment/management plan.
Good luck and I hope your vet can help you out!

What did the vet say it was? You have taken her to the vet haven’t you since this has been going on for the last couple of months and is clearly getting worse.
