      some rashes or hyperemic skin areas some times looks like pettichae. I think which is very commonly seen in female dogs sitting on thier own urine as a result of urine scalding! this is easy to handle.
      Now if its a real petiche or pin point hemmorhage, I would have many things in mind as tentatives: E.canis on top, lepto seconding it and surely any other disorders of platellet. But as I understand E.canis is not a very simple case to show up alone with petichae, I would prefer to suggest you to do a complete blood test for plat counts and liver and coagulation profile.
