here are the dermatologists in kentucky and usually first consult is $160 but at least you will get to the answer the first visit none of this try this try this and the skin culture is appx $134 and it is no biggie they just go over skin with a piece of tape send out to lab and find the antibiotic that will kill it - simplicef is what they usually try but my girl has horrible allergies and got hives on it so we are using clindamyacin and it is killing it. Topically if you want to treat that way do the duoxo i stated every 3 days and that will kill it topically

I do not think it is a flea reaction although on flea bite can do some damage but flea allergy is the back half of the dog so on the butt area not the entire back

the other thing to rule out is hypothyroid due to age of your dog as my dog with all the skin issues is hypothyroid and it is also an auto immune disease so this could be why this is creeping up now at 5 so next blood draw do a 6 panel thyroid sent to michigan state, antech or dr jean dodds. What happens with this is they can get sebaceous gland excretion on back which is oily crusties on back and thyroid usually affects the back and tail of a dog although in mine she lost hair on her neck
