Hello. From the picture, the yellow bumps on the dog’s body are most likely ticks. Ticks usually have a smooth surface and are yellow or dark brown in color; after sucking the dog’s blood they gradually enlarge, and some black leg segments may show at the bite site.

If the dog is infected with many ticks, you need to use a topical dewormer containing fipronil, methoprene, and similar ingredients for external parasite control in time. In addition, you can apply alcohol to the tick’s bite area and surroundings, and after the tick is paralyzed, pull it out with tweezers.
