so they did a skin scraping and she didnt see any mange or fleas or nothing so she is sending off a culture she thinks its fungus. but not a ringworm type.
so i'll know in 10 days. the vet put him on antibiotic cephalexin 3 times a day.

the damage for todays visit.... $66.00

the office visit recheck..... $17.00 (normally its 25.00 office visit)
skin scraping.....$10.00
culture(fungal)........$20.00
cephalexin drops 250mg/5ml...........$19.00

It's good you went. With the antiboitic I am sure it will clear up in no time.
Let us know what the culture reveals when you get the results.
Now you can relax alittle.

daisy, my chihuhua, did that a few months ago. It turned out to be allergies.The vet narrowed it down the the puppy pads. There was something in them that she was allergic to. they put her on 2 diff meds and we removed the puppy pads and now you cant even tell that she was loosing all her hair.

Well hopefully everything is fine. Glad to hear it is nothing major. and it really wasn't to expensive to bring him in.

Yorkiedaze · 08-31-2007, 08:18 AM

Sounds like getting charged for taking the lug-nuts off the tire rim and then charged for changing the tire. Well anyway, I hope it isn't serious. It never ceases to amaze me how quick some Vets. are at giving medication "before" they even know the problem. I do hope everything turns out good.

trini&coco · 08-31-2007, 08:28 AM

Glad to see it was nothing more serious...hope our baby is better very soon...

Amy81 · 08-31-2007, 08:36 AM

thanks everyone!! i will post back as soon as i hear something.. i should hear around the 9th of Sept. i'll be waiting anxiously until then!

Yeah the vet bill wasn't too bad.. i was freakin out when they said scraping and sending off. i just figured in the couple hundred dollar range.

but it was only 66.00.. i didnt have the whole amount. im on disability and after paying bills im broke. so i put 10 down and i owe 56. so im just glad my vet let me makes arrangements.

I'm glad you found out what the problem is. My dog (may he rest in peace) had that problem. Has your puppy been itching?

Yorkiekids · 08-31-2007, 12:50 PM

Glad she's going to be ok. Atleast you know the worse thing can be you'll have to use medicine, and try to figure out is she's allergic, what it is that is causing the allergy.

hmm have you looked at your dog food ing. i know betty will loose her hair if she sneeks some of my moms dogs food .. she cant handle soy or corn akkk and she will sneak some of my soy latte too

Amy81 · 08-31-2007, 05:10 PM

he has been itching but not at that spot....

i think ive narrowed it down to two possibilities.. he recently chewed 3 corners of the wall in my apartment....

and i just switched conditioners. so im gonna go to the vet and get the shampoo with oatmeal.

i ll ask her as soon as the culture comes back whats causing it and see what she says.. but those are my two diagnosis.

he is feeling good. running and playing. normal behaviour. the antibiotic makes him sleepy.
