Many of you know my little foster Sammy. Sammy had lost the hair on his ears for no known reason but the vet was not concerned. He had come to me with no hair and it had grown back so we thought maybe it would again. Nothing really remarkable was noted until today. The tip of his ear had some crusty looking stuff...and looked to me like cutaneous vasculitis. Sure enough...that is what he has. So...he is on prednisone and she is going to call the compounding pharmacy and get pentoxifylline tomorrow. Poor Sammy...I just hope he does not lose the tip of his ear.
For those of you who don't know Sammy...here are a couple of threads that tell about his history. Poor little thing has a boatload of conditions...but honestly he is in very good shape and does not let it get him down.
