It acts like it is going to go away and then the next day is all crusty again. He gets a bath every couple of weeks. The vet calls it a "Chronic Sore" and said last resort will be to surgically remove it...won't this cause a larger sore? Plus the thought of putting him under anesthesia does not thrill me. It does not seem to bother him...he scratches it every now and then but not much. I think it bothers me a lot more than it bothers him...anybody have a similar sore on your baby? |
I've never heard of this. Does this happen to be the place where he gets his vaccinations? If so, some dogs can react badly to them and lose hair. Get a little better explanation from your vet and if you can't, I would be seeing another vet. Good luck.
