My dog has had the same smelly, red areas on her belly.  Then eventually her hair started to fall out.  Since then she has been put on cyclosporin, a human medicine to prevent rejection to people with organ transplants.  She has gotten much better, but I also have to bathe her 2 time/week.  She is getting there.  skin infections are very common in Boston's.  Good luck!

Hi, I was just wondering if the rash your terrier has - has an odor?  If it does, I'm going through the same thing with my dogs. The vet called it a "yeast infection" of the skin.  It also makes the hair eventually fall out.  Sound familiar? If so, I can tell you what the vet told us to do.
