Staph infections can be treated with antibiotics like Cephalexin, but they tend to come back once the antibiotics are finished. That's what happened with Lady. I am now battling them with a medicated shampoo (Chlorihexiderm) and benzoil peroxide which is Clearasil. If he's only got a couple of spots, I'd try Clearasil. It works wonders.

Does he have allergies? A fish oil supplement like 3V caps is helpful, too.
About the allergies. I dont know. He is just now 4 months adn i havent seen any other skin, eye, or mucus membrane irritations! He has been on the same food since i got him, but he has also had these spots since i got him. so i very well may be his food!
