Brooke, if you go HERE (this is where I took the boys) - and click on FAQs, and then "What is Pyoderma" -- there are pics, but that is a very severe case. Wylie's looked wayyy more subtle - he had some red, patchy areas on his tummy, he had flakes all over and red patches here and there; the back of his legs looked red/patchy/hairless too. He had fur loss on all 4 legs and then it was starting on his body. It is easily cleared up w/ a once a day does of Simplicef for 2-3 weeks. His skin is already looking much better!
Kisses and hugs to the Tator - from both the boys, but especially from her Marcel.  |
oh ann am so sorry to hear you have to wait another 2 weeks for better results . . .
. .Annika has a lot of her hair on her legs gone too, which I feel is from excessive scratching . . .she is shedding as well which is so unusual as their breed shouldn't be shedding at all . . .however yesterday I have seen a tremendous decrease in shedding, more like barely nothing . . no signs of hair on the brush and on the bed
. .am not sure if the cortizone shot has anything to do with it so am hoping it is the diet that is causing this wonderful change in her . . . by sunday her meds will completely wear off and am hoping that the change in diet is indeed the cause of much improvement. right now she barely scratches at all and am so very happy . .whether it be the cortizone working its magic or the diet . . .at this point, I just don't care and am just thrilled she is out of being so uncomfortable
. . I hope the 2 weeks will zoom fast so we can know for sure what is "troubling" your little stud muffin.
On a lighter note, I did not realize that his heart belongs to Tate
that is so cute . .they are a perfect match . . . both sooo gorgeous.
