| I'm sorry...that has to be miserable for him. I think taking him to the vet is the best thing to do. I would have a hard time waiting until tomorrow. I'm sure you know this, but remember to wash your hands frequently since you don't know what it is yet. Poor baby!

| I remember when Buddy was a puppy he got something like that. The vet called it a diaper rash, much like a babies, he said. I got a cream and it was gone in a couple of days never to return. Good luck I'm sure it's nothing to really worry about just get the meds. |

| Lucy seems has a sensitivity to staph. She's had it 5 times. It's little pussy(how do you spell that? I'm not talking about a cat or anything LOL) looking pimples that turn into scabby areas. She's never had it on her genitals, though. The vet tells me it's not contagious. I guess everybody(including animals) has staph on their skin all the time. Only some have a sensitivity to it. If she gets it again, they will have to do tests to find out how to get rid of it permanently. |
