Oh gosh...I don't know if you need to start at the Vet School then, unless you really want to...?

If a basic skin culture hasn't even been done yet - or even a scraping, which can immediately be looked at under scope - then you may want to start there, bc you could get a diagnosis VERY quickly.

So, when you wrote: "nobody seams to be able to tell us whats wrong, the vets don't know" -- what did the vets do to test her skin?

To recap, what you can do right away is - take her in, they can do a scraping, and then both look at it under scope to see if she is full of bacteria (staph infection), but they can then also grow this out in culture for at least 10 days to see if she also has fungus, which would not surprise me.

Please do this soon - staph is dangerous when left unchecked.
