He decided that it was a staph infection. He gave her a steroid shot to control itching and put her on antibiotics for 10 days. He said he has never seen anything quite like it. She had a fever of 103*, but has been eating, playing, and generally acting normal. Her poo has been a little soft, but nothing crazy. I'm just worried about her and I was wondering what you all thought. My mom thinks it's weird that the vet didn't try to biopsy it. Any opinions, advice, or experience would be greatly appreciated.

My vet didnt biopsy either. He told me everything I just read from that first sight the other girl listed. Knew it all off the top of his head. Very smart.
The only thing my girl is not having is itching. Or maybe she did at first and I just didnt notice
So, is she doing better now?
