Thanks for reaching out about your pup's skin concern. Finding a yellow or green scab-like spot on your poodle mix can be a bit worrying, but let's work through it together.
This kind of spot can be caused by several things. It might be a minor skin infection, possibly bacterial or fungal, especially given the color you described. Puppies are curious and might have gotten a small scratch that got a bit infected. Allergies or a reaction to something in the environment or food could also cause similar symptoms.
At home, make sure the area is clean and dry. You can gently clean it with a mild, non-irritating antiseptic wash suitable for dogs. Avoid picking at the scab, as this can cause more irritation or infection.
Keep an eye on your puppy for any signs that might suggest a more serious issue. These include the spot growing in size, more spots appearing, noticeable discomfort or itching, or any signs of the spot oozing. Remember, puppies can get sick quickly, so monitoring their behavior and overall wellness is key.
If you're noticing any of these concerning signs or if the spot doesn't start to improve soon, it’s a good idea to book a video consult with Dial A Vet for a closer look and tailored guidance. We'd love to help ensure your pup stays happy and healthy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
