Spencer is having a problems on his stomach, his legs & a bit on by his shoulder. . .His tummy is all red, with some spots that looks like dirt. He's on Interceptor and Frontline Plus monthly and has been since day 1. The Vet said it's a staph infection; put him on steroids a couple of times & it may clear up for a short while but comes back. I have a special shampoo that I use for this condition, prescribed antihistimanes (for the itching). I know you can't tell by this description but have any of you had this problem...red irritated stomach and legs with "dirty" spots??? I don't want anything to happen to him and I don't want him in misery. Of course, I will contact Vet again tomorrow but....why doesn't the dang stuff clear up?

Poor Spencer! I am sorry I have no advise but wanted to welcome you and wish you the best in finding the right answer for your baby.

Good luck,

Peggy, Monkey & Maddie
