He has developed some sort of red sores he is a lover and he is just a bundle of fun other then the sores he is happy and healthy he is 7 months old and I was wondering if you ever experienced red sores that he chews to the point of inflamation.

What a doll! I just love this one

Duke's never had anything like that. Have you checked with the vet? It might be some sort of allergy which Duke has had. I have to give him the Benadryl pills at night because he was itching a lot. Also, it might have to do with the area you're in. I would have the vet look at them and see if they can help. Also, it might be what is called hot spots. I don't have any knowlege of that but some other people here do.

I've had chow chows for the last thirty years and this last one we got has so many allergies that I just had him shaved to try and get under the hair to treat the spots. We got him when he was three weeks old because his mother had been hit by a car and he's had allergies ever since we got him. But then he has a lot of other problems too so this is just one of them. But he's so sweet with us. We are senior citizens and camp a lot and he's wonderful to travel with, loves to go and doesn't mind having to be on a leash while we're gone. But he's so scared of people and other dogs that I have to make sure we don't walk him around when they are out. At home he loves the grandlittles and doesn't act like a lot of chows do with children.
He is four years old now. And a black chow, not a red one.
