The Vet just called me and said the test was NEGATIVE! I am soooo happy!

But he said that he has some allergies, he is giving him a shot of Dex, sending home some benadryl and some special shampoo for his skin!!

Thanks for all the fingers that were crossed!! I was not looking forward to dealing with Ringworm!

Can't wait till 430 when I can go pick my poor little itchy baby up!

Happy to hear that there's no ringworm, but I do have a question. I thought the test takes about 10 days for the results. I am pretty sure I read that on the web also. I had to keep treating until all results came back twice with the 10-day wait. Please ask your vet to make sure.

Ok, we just got back a little while ago from the Vet, here is the scoop.

The first information I got was from the Tech on the phone. Here is what happend when I went to pick him up.

The vet pulled me in the room and said, it wasnt ringworm, he knew as soon as he saw the spot because it wasnt flakey and he didnt see any other spots, he just had some redness on his chest. He then did the skin scraping and it came out negitive for mange, he then did the blacklight test and it came out negitve for Ringworm, he said there wasnt any green or flakyness or hair loss.

So he gave him a couple shots, Dexamethasone and Diphenhyramine. He checked on Pnut a couple hours later and he said the spot was 80% gone. I then looked at Pnut's neck and I couldnt even see it anymore, it was like 95% gone!! So the Vet thinks it has something to do with Fri when he was sunbathing on the grass, bc he was laying on his tummy. He said he has some allergies.

He sent us home with Epi-soothe shampoo and Genesis Topical Spray, I have to spray him in that area for like a week 2 times a day and then 1 time a day for a week, and give him a bath with his shampoo once a week. I told him it kinda all makes sense bc sometimes I see his tummy kinda red, he said anytime I see that just to spray him. I asked him if I should put him on Bendadrly and he said the spray is better at this point. Oh the vet said anytime I have him in grass I should wash him down with a cloth or something..

So YEAY! No ringworm, Pnut is doing so much better! He hasnt itched since yesterday!! He is laying right next to me. Peanut said he had a very cool day, he said he was able to see Sx and other dogs getting treated on!

So glad everything worked out, thank you for your guys support!!

Does anyone's babies have allergies like this? If so how do you treat it?

Oh P.S this little fatty gained some weight! He was 4.5 now he is 5.4!! Gesssh piggy!!

This seems like it has been an endless battle to find out why Pnut has been so itchy and red.

He wasd doing fine till Fri evening. I fed him and took him on a walk. As soon as we got home about 30 mins later he was itchy, and his whole under body was RED!!! I sprayed his stuff on him and didn't seem to help. I called the vet and he told me what I can give him, to go get it and CVS. Its called Chlorepdeamine or something.... (sp) so I gave him 1/2 a pill and it finially helped....

Dh told me that he thinks it is the wet food, bc he noticed Pnut getting itchy after I fed him. He has been on Acana grassland for ever now so I know its not the dry, I think it is the wet. I was giving him Wellness wet, he ran out and I wanted to try Blue Buffalo wet. So we think it is the wet food. I am going to take him off and see if it helps. The last time he had any was yesterday morning and it was very little.. so far so good, he hasnt been ichty or red!

Ugh! Can wet food really do that to him? Or could it be a combo of the grass and wet food?? How does anyone deal with the allergies or dogs?

Have you considered having a blood panel done for Peanut? I know they do this with kids, where they test the blood to see what causes allergies or not. The list is pretty detailed even giving to what degree a child is allergic to what. Can you find out if there is something similar available for pups?
