my daschund has a couple of red spots on his tummy. Ones is about 1/8" round and the other about 1/4" round. Both are blood red around the edges and are not tender or itchy to him. Any ideas what they are? treatment?

There are some different possibilities. This could be ringworm which you can read about and see pictures of here
www.marvistavet.com/html/body_ringworm.html
It could be from a flying insect bite such as a deer or horse fly etc.

It could also be from a tick bite and be an indication that the dog has picked up a tick carried disease. You can read about those here
http://marvistavet.net/html/body_lyme_disease.html
and the page has pictures of the rash seen too.
If you think this could be ringworm or lyme disease then you need to see a vet.
If you think it might be fly bites you can get a repellent at the pet supply store for your dog.
Hope this helps you!
