The good news is that I called the vet and asked them to approve the Simplicef for 30 days and they did.
Question: How often should I bathe him, and should I use normal shampoo ( I use Jerob) or an anti-bacterial one (Is Malaseb ok, or should I get something else?)

Yep, that looks like pyoderma -- just like my Wylie's when he gets it. And it's usually due to allergies bc the skin just becomes inflamed and irritated w/ the allergies, and the normal staph intermedius overgrows, and *boom* you have an infection.

If you can, Vet Derms usually recommend you bathe them every 3-4 days with something like Duoxo shampoo. You can try the Malaseb too, but the Duoxo would be a bit better...you could also alternate btwn the 2.
