If it's pyoderma (staph intermedius, very common), it has to be treated for 30 days w/ Simplicef.
So he's had this even when he was a puppy???
Honestly, with the general vet not being able to make this any better - I'd get your pup to a Vet Dermatologist ASAP. They will solve your problem WAY more accurately than a generalist can/will. |
Yes, def get skin scraping done w/cytology to determine what it is so it can be treated accordingly. It almost looks like mange to me, poor baby hope he'll be ok.
