Well girls it started about 4 weeks ago.
He went through the same thing last summer....
This never happens in the winter time.
Only in the summer.
I don't get it?? My vet says no fleas, no insect bites.
She thinks its allergies to grass.
His rash looks like the hives humans get.
It's inflamed and red.
I had him professionally groomed with a medicine shampoo and he was ok for a week...then he started itching again.
Our vet gave me Triamcinolone Acetonide 1%.
It's an anti-inflamoritory and it contains 1% steroid.
It seems to be working.
Theres also an odor coming from him.
Hot spots on the infected area.
My poor sweet boy, I just want him to be comfortable.
His beautiful hair on his bib near his neck is gone.
He had a gorgeous cottony bib.
Any suggestions on which shampoo to use.
I am just going to bath him myself.
The vet said bath him every week to keep dirt out of his rash.
