Hi,

I have a 4 month old yorkie poo the last 3 weeks he has been biting his front paws lots and scratching his head/ears/ belly lots. He has a slight rash on his belly and is dry with a few red blotchy spots. His paws and everywhere else are not red. He has been checked by the vets twice and he hasnt got fleas. I treat him reguarly for fleas and worms.
The vet gave him some anti-biotic tablets that I have got to give him for a week as well as shampoo that I have been washing him in twice a week. The vet thinks it may be impetigo but im not sure. Has anyone else had anything similar with their puppy? im hoping this isnt a long term problem as the vet said he may have to have blood tests and steriods etc which I really hope he doesnt have to have.
