My Buddy has the same problem. In fact, he's going back to the vet tomorrow.

I've been thinking it was mange, which the whole litter had when at the rescuer. At the time I brought him home, I was told to bathe him in Goodwinol shampoo. I did, and it went away. Haven't had a problem for years. . . . until a few months ago. Took him to the vet, did the antibiotics, etc. and the little blisters and brow flaky scabs went away.

They started back a few weeks ago and I began shampooing with Goodinwol (sp?) shampoo again and he started clearing up. Then BAM! it's back with a vengance. I saw the first little blister yesterday and call the vet for an appt.

Will see what vet has to say tomorrow.
