Thoughts and advice PLEASE!?? So I took Izzy (4 and a half) for her yearly vet check. Shots, checkup, blah blah..... Everything looks great. However I had the vet look at a few black scab like places on her face that I noticed a few weeks prior. He said not to worry they didn't look to be harmful or anything bad, to just keep an eye on it. I've always noticed she rubs her face on the carpet but this is the first time I've ever seen the scabs. I just assumed she scratched herself or the new pup may have bitten her too hard. So I've kept an eye on them for a few weeks. The scabs started to fall off and I assumed they were gone. Well I looked tonight and there are more, even some going down her neck. Is this something I should be worried about. Have you ever noticed these on your babies. I don't think it's fleas since I've never even seen one on her and I looked up this condition Schnauzers get called "comedones" I'm not sure. The vet didn't seem too worried about them at all but of course I am..... Please give me any advice you have regarding these little scabs. Even though she is not in pain or seemed bothered by them I just want her to be 100% okay. |
i've seen that on other dogs. One being my pitt bull, Chewy... The groomer actually noticed it and gave me some stuff to put on it and after like two days it went completely away. i think he said it was a fungus of some sort. the vet should look at it again now that you know it's more than just from bites. I thought the same thing when I first noticed Chewy's. |
Best take your pup back to the vet if they are spreading. Hopefully other members whose pups may have had this can offer their opinions, but vet check is always best. Better safe the sorry. |
Hmmmm....doesn't seem normal to me if it's continuing / getting worse. Can you post a picture? Could be pyoderma, but those areas are usually reddened, not blackish... |
She has been eating some of Sammys puppy food. (Which she ate when she was a pup) Do you think it could be an allergy to that. I did notice the spots after we got Sammy? |
Id ask your groomer. Could be some sort of a skin allergy or maybe even a food allergy. If they have no ideas.. Id go to another vet for a second opinion. |
The thing chewy had on his nose was like a black scab and whenever it would come off it would regrow and it would be bigger and after the Groomer gave me that stuff that she gave me I used it on there and it came off and it grew back smaller and then the next day I did it again and it didn't go back at all . And it was a fungus of some sort |
Daisy developed black scabs on her hips about the size of a quarter. The vet called it a staph infection but said it wasn't contagious like the human kind. She got it when I started adding boiled chicken to her dog food. She got antibiotics (if I remember correctly) and it cleared right up. We quit giving her chicken and it never came back. Not saying it is the same thing as your pup at all, just mentioning what Daisy had. |
I would get it looked at again. It does similar to what my big dog gets in the summer where his collar rubs on his neck. He ends up with leathery skin there and black scabs on it. Our solution is to take off his collar except during walks (his harness hooks to his collar) until it heals. I have seen a fungus like growth that sounds similar to this though. I would get it looked at to be sure. If it is a fungus it won't take much to get rid of. They have a cream for that you put on it and it clears it up pretty quickly. |
