This morning I noticed that wyatt had some scabs on the back of his leg... where the bend in the back legs are... i have no idea how he got them!! it seems every other day I discover a new scrape or bump.... i have no idea what happens! i watch him all the time.. his crate is always there with his blanket... is this normal for puppies?? i've never had a puppy... so not sure if i'm over reacting... should i put neosporin on the scab? its like he got a scrape and it just scabbed over on his left leg!

hi, doberman puppies are definitely clutzy and can have boo boos here and there especially if they play rough outside. Puppies can also get what's called puppy pyoderma, I believe it's called. It's a mild staph infection. Does he have any lesions on his belly area or inside his legs? This is a common area for pyoderma. If it is a concern, it wouldn't hurt to have him checked out
