    I had the same problem with my cat. My vet told me to stop feeding her from a plastic dish. That stopped the problem... apparently, plastic dishes can get scratched, leaving places for food to rot, and germs to thrive. If not plastic, I'd investigate some kind of eating/chewing related allergy.

    re: what kind of bowl...
    Yes -- switch to metal -- even an old pot from the junk store is better than a plastic bowl.

    I could be a skind conidtion called Pyoderma.

    The most common, owner response is that the dog itches, has red areas, often with pimples or scabs and the pet may smell. Surface pyodermas may show as areas of redness and irritation, often developing in raised round, scabs. Be sure to ask your vet.
