    Just noticed these under megs chin. http://oi60.tinypic.com/3590n5d.jpg
    She is 8 months old now and never had any previous skin conditions. Could it be a bit of acne? Advice please!

    It does look a bit like an irritation of sorts - but nothing too irritated from the picture.

    I would clean it well and watch it a day or two....if it changes or if SHE changes anything, a call to the vet right quick would be in order.

    hmmm....dunno. Most labs have sort of raised pimples there, which are the hair follicles for large whiskers - but those do look a bit inflamed. So I guess that's a bit of acne. I'd be tempted to keep that area super clean - with hibiscrub - but off to the vet if no improvement. Which reminds me, I think maybe Kate's Sam had a touch of acne on his face once. Perhaps she'll be along to say what she thinks....

    Doesn't look like anything serious - I'd be going with the acne/swollen follicles idea too and using an antibacterial wash every few days.
