Skin condition... please HELP My little Charlie has developed a nasty skin condition. It's covered his whole back. The vet has done a biopsy and says it's nothing serious. They gave me shampoo for sensitive skin and cortisone tablets. The breeder where I got him from says it could be "hot spots" or a heat rash. It has been very warm the past 2 months in South Africa. The breakout starts with a pimple type raised spot, not puss comes from it, but the skin becomes flaky and then it itches... There is no real dis colouration of the skin, just white flakes... at first I was worried it looked like fungal spores, but the vet says its not! Can anyone PLEASE help me, have you seen this before? |
Hi and WELCOME to YT. Was a skin scraping done? What did it look like under scope, what did they say about it? It could be a result of allergies, in which case you'd want to explore antihistamines, Atopica, Temaril P, or allergy shots. |
What are you feeding him? Do you spritz with moisturizer or something similar? The only time I've seen either of my two get flaky skin is when the weather is dry. Like during winter, the heater is on constantly and it's on high. Dries out the air like crazy where my hands get dried out and itchy. |
