she has sores all over!!!???

[RLC12345678]

My little boy, Hobbs, got those under his neck....like 10 of them. I took him to the vet and she said he was allergic to fleas and those were flea bites that he had scratched. She told me to shave his neck and put coconut oil on his neck. She also gave him a cortisone shot. I shaved his neck, doctored it, and all the little scabs have healed.

Before Buddy I had a terrier mix. I rescued him from the pound when he was around 2yrs according to the vet. Around 7yrs he developed 1 pimple on his head. Soon after many appeared. Blood work was done and I was told it was allergies.
He was allergic to grass, trees, chicken feathers, dog hair, which means
he was allergic to himself. I believed the vet to be a nut case so I went to another vet. No help from him either. I found a holistic doctor some distance from me but I went. She didn't reconized what the problem was and put him
on a special diet and more meds. He was already addicted to a steriod (azium)that I could not get him off, meanwhile they kept multiplying. The holistic vet
told me to take him to a psychaitrist. That's when I said good bye to her.
He lived to be 16yrs but you could not pet him, he was covered from head
to toe and was the best kindest dog there was. I hated walking him because he looked so bad. I never found out what it was and bathed him in a oatmeal bath to prevent him from scratching. It broke my heart but no one had answers. I had to PTS when his kidney's started to fail.
I hope you get some answers for your little one. It's awful when you can't
help them. I believe Teddy's to be somekind of virus but doc's had no clue.

My little Lola gets sores too. The vet told me it was a staff infection and gave me antibotics. They cleared up, but they are back again. He told me I could use a medicated Shampoo to help them. He said they she gets them because she is still young and her immune system hasn't built up enough to ward off a lot of stuff yet.

Her spots don't really seem to bother her either. She usually gets them under her neck and on her chest.

RLC12345678: So the Vet recommended putting Coconut Oil and that healed it? Wow, I feed them the oil, next time there is a skin issue, I will have to try that

daisy mae06: ...nice save (I saw your original posting - hahahaha)

how long was she on antibiotics as derm said if not on for 20 days then infection isn't completely gone and will come back - simplecef is best on stomach she said

Of course you can bring back older threads! It is GREAT to do research on YT, I do it all the time. It's just sometimes, people don't realize they are older threads and then they post something to the original poster and then they realize it is an older thread

oh ok - i felt bad thought i was not suppose to do this - i am just learning and excited that maybe i can get my babies well with all the valuable experiences and information everyone has - it is like going to 100's of vets all at once :0) I am going to print all the threads on allergies and fax to my derm for her to review and go over with me

and i am going to ask her how many hours they take in vet school on nutrition as I have heard it is like 7
