You could ask for a fungal culture (takes 10-14 days) - and he could also look at a sample/smear under scope. The Derm. told me that ALL skin issues can only fall into 2 categories: allergies -or- secondary to illness. Do you think it was allergy related...ie, had he been scratching at those ears? |
No he is not scratching at all. He's just Truman
and doesn't do a whole lot of complaining...just hangs around. I did have him on Purina Pro Plan when he was so underweight, then I started to mix with NB Sweet potato and Venison kibble. When they are so use to either bad food or in his case NO FOOD at all it is hard to get them to switch to something really good for them. At the time I was so desperate to get him to eat ANYTHING because he was so starved and underweight that he was falling over.
But in the last month I have slowly weaned him off the Pro Plan and now he gets the NB mixed with pumpkin and Evangers 100% venison. I was watching Animal Planet over the weekend and if you can even imagine he looked like one of the dogs they show on Animal Cops that are dying from starvation~he was that skinny and sick!
But he has gained 5 lbs and looks great now. It might be an allergy because we all know that Pro Plan isn't the best for them. But I do think I might have to ask for a scrapping to see what the vet thinks. He had so many other things wrong with him when I got him that his ear hair or actually lack of hair was not something I was worried about. But now I look at him and he is just about perfect execpt his bald little ears.
