Circular Patch of Fur loss and Scabbing
Hello. I my dog has a patch of fur missing the size of a quarter on her right shoulder. It has a pretty gooey scab on it as well. She is 7 and a pitbull mix. Never seen this before and she has good bloodwork and all of her shots. I did however give her a topical for fleas and ticks from PetArmor. Can this be the culprit to her wound?

Research the PetArnor topical flea and tick treatment and see if there are any other reports of skin problems attached to it.
I'm afraid I don't know, as I am in the UK, and don't know that product. But I do know that some products are worse than others for various reasons.
If I were you I would definitely let her vet take a look at that.
It couldn't be ringworm could it? (which is a fungal infection, not an actual worm.) Ringworm can leave circular lesions, hence its name.
If it is, there will be a medication to treat it. Speak to the vet.
