 Ringworm OR Vaccine Reaction?
Hi guys,
I'm a long time dog owner, but 1st time Yorkie owner. I have never had a dog with ringworm, so I'm not sure if this is ringworm or not. My Yorkie is 4.5lbs (5lbs on a "fat" day) and just turned 5 yrs old. On Sept. 24 (so about 3 weeks ago) she got her rabies and distemper/parvo vaccinations.
4 days ago, I was petting her and felt a sizable scab on her shoulder. I looked at it, and it looked like a crusty scab, but I was semi-scared that it could be ringworm. I decided to wait a few days before taking her in to the vet. The lesion or scab or whatever you want to call it has not changed. Then it struck me that the location of the scab is just about where she had her rabies vaccine 3 weeks ago.
Has anyone had experience with post rabies shot allergic reactions? Or maybe ringworm experience?
Hair is still growing through the lesion, but I trimmed it so that I could better see the scab/lesion. No pus. Just looks really dry and crusty.
Any help/advice/comment is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
