It's neither Poison Ivy or Poison Oak. It's just some type of rash that may or may not be caused by food or maybe his shampoo. He also has an ear infection and his anal glands are infected AGAIN! Doc gave him a stronger antibiotic via a shot, plus another shot for the itching. They 'deep cleaned' his ears and I have to put these drops in twice a day for 7 days. He also gave me a special shampoo. $127 dollars later - I got a furbutt that's feeling better but has a greasy head from the drops.

They also told me to only bath him once every 6 weeks! I'm like are you kidding me? He stinks after a week and his hair gets all oogy boogy.

I usually bath him once a week and I'm probably going to go to every other week - but I can't see letting him go for 6 weeks.
