Default Yeay! No ringworm!

Ok, we just got back a little while ago from the Vet, here is the scoop.

The first information I got was from the Tech on the phone. Here is what happend when I went to pick him up.

The vet pulled me in the room and said, it wasnt ringworm, he knew as soon as he saw the spot because it wasnt flakey and he didnt see any other spots, he just had some redness on his chest. He then did the skin scraping and it came out negitive for mange, he then did the blacklight test and it came out negitve for Ringworm, he said there wasnt any green or flakyness or hair loss.

So he gave him a couple shots, Dexamethasone and Diphenhyramine. He checked on Pnut a couple hours later and he said the spot was 80% gone. I then looked at Pnut's neck and I couldnt even see it anymore, it was like 95% gone!! So the Vet thinks it has something to do with Fri when he was sunbathing on the grass, bc he was laying on his tummy. He said he has some allergies.

He sent us home with Epi-soothe shampoo and Genesis Topical Spray, I have to spray him in that area for like a week 2 times a day and then 1 time a day for a week, and give him a bath with his shampoo once a week. I told him it kinda all makes sense bc sometimes I see his tummy kinda red, he said anytime I see that just to spray him. I asked him if I should put him on Bendadrly and he said the spray is better at this point. Oh the vet said anytime I have him in grass I should wash him down with a cloth or something..

So YEAY! No ringworm, Pnut is doing so much better! He hasnt itched since yesterday!! He is laying right next to me. Peanut said he had a very cool day, he said he was able to see Sx and other dogs getting treated on!

So glad everything worked out, thank you for your guys support!!

Does anyone's babies have allergies like this? If so how do you treat it?

Oh P.S this little fatty gained some weight! He was 4.5 now he is 5.4!! Gesssh piggy!!
