That is what I would do! But...before that.....ask your vet if he is familiar with cutaneous vasculitis. I know that Dixie did not have a biopsy...my vet took one look and knew what it was. It is not a real common thing...maybe he has not seen it?

I would think a derm would know...I just would not want to wait any longer because it can get worse...and she will be missing more hair. It might take time to get an appt....I don't know.
