Yes I did check in to this more than a year ago and then when another member had a severe problem with it.


What I do know is that I have seen SEVERAL cases of dogs with it spread over their entire body, most recently a chocolate lab whose family could no longer afford the expense, that dog was buck naked and afraid and confused lying in the shelter. This is NOT something that should be taken lightly, it needs to be treated.


NONE of us were there when his vet diagnosed and prescribed a therapeutic treatment and NONE of us should tell him to NOT follow his vets orders. My greatest fear is this taking over the pup and the OP becoming totally overwhelmed. With a pup this young it can affect the pups permanent disposition and the owners ability to continue bonding with pup. I SEE IT ALL THE TIME.


If OP wants a second opinion or to visit a VET DERM I say wonderful, in the meantime PLEASE FOLLOW THE VETS PROVEN course of therapy.


Bobbi I did NOT totally dismiss your suggestion, I said use it in concert with the PRESCRIBED therapy but again OP, please check with your vet.


Your advice in NOT following a vets orders regarding a well known condition, without reading the chart or examining this particular dog is out of line, IMHO.
