Like I said, I could be wrong....but I swear that it looks like it and sounds like it.
The fact that the vet mentioned it might be from the rabies even makes me more suspicious of it.
I don't know that a biopsy is needed for a diagnosis, but could be. My vet took one look and knew what it was....Dixie had been to another vet first who did not know what it was.
Thank you Lady Jane. I appreciate you googling cutaneous vasculitis. Do you think I should go to a dermotolgist before doing a biopsy. The biopsy alone is $400. The bills are adding up.
