can anyone please help my harley divot? he's so miserable-my heart breaks for him

as someone who just learned a lesson the hard way... don't let the vet keep guessing @ what is wrong with your puppy. insist on skin samples or take it to a dermataligist. it may be more expensive but will save you in the long run in two ways... 1st and most important your puppy will start getting better rather than worse and worse 2) i was up to like 400 dollars in misdiagnosis treatments and the correct diagnosis and treatment only cost $111. good luck and keep us updated
if my dog had been properly diagnosed we would have been on the road to recovery 4 months ago rather than going back to the vet every single week since then.
