My son's dog had cutaneous vasculitis and was on prednisone for 4 weeks and it cleared up; but she did suffer permanent hair loss in some areas.

I have a foster pup who recently had it....he was on prednisone for 4 weeks and his has cleared up as well. He had it on his ears. I believe there is a thread somewhere on YT about him but I cannot find it.

Lisa and Pic's pup Piccolo had it and she was treated with pentoxifylline.

I would not mess with it and would give what they are suggesting. It gets worse if left untreated! As for finding the cause, I would not be playing around doing that because this is a condition that will worsen while you are doing it and you may never know what caused it.

Good luck!
