Bumps on my dogs skin, tiny orange bugs?

My pinscher has bumps on her legs, body and face, I thought as usual it was allergies, so the vet gave her a cortisone shot which normally takes care of the problem immediatly. She did not get better, so I looked at the bumps with a magnifying glass and saw tiny orange dots located on the bumps, any idea what this is? It is to small to tell if it is a bug, but I am starting to think it is. Thanks!!!

if they are orange/red then it sounds like chiggers. they are blood suckers than bury themselves in the skin.
Reply:my cat has the bugs but she dosnt have the bumps i beleve they are flease. i use flea shampoo and they are gone.
Reply:your dog probably has skin allergies and when a flea bites her she get these bumps you are talking about, my schnauzer
