HELP PLEASE! Red bumps & Scabs I have a 1 year old Yorkie, and recently (about a week) I noticed TWO scabs on his back..i ignored it thinking it was from the spider i saw in his crate the other day, BUT now it has gotten WORSE. He now has scabs on his spine, neck, and toward legs...he is NOT loosing any hair, and he doesnt have diarrhea or vomitting...he doesnt seem to care about it, he acts perfectly fine and is eating very well..but im scared of what it could be..Please help me. i dont know what is wrong with my puppy!! |
Please get to the vet asap - could be many things - flea allergy, mites/mange, staph infection. Please keep us posted and best of luck! |
Staph Infection Our Caesar has the staph infection. Felt scabs in his hair and finally saw a couple of lesions on his tummy. The vet knew what it was immediately and put him on antibiotics and antibacterial shampoo. That was in August. It cleared up within a week, but our vet assured us that it would return and it has. He is again on the antibiotics and we are using the prescription shampoo. Within a week the one red pimple and the other "lesion" have disappeared. The doctor says that he is not contagious to any other animals or to humans. It is an autoimmune problem and we will simply have to deal with it. What you are describing sounds like what Caesar has so I too suggest that you see your vet ASAP. Good Luck |
