Help!!!! My 3 year old yorkie always seems to get this circular red rash on his back. We have taken him to the vet many times and he gives him a cream and a shot to take 3 times each time but it keeps coming back. When it occurs, he gets depressed and sits under the stairs by himself and is not his normal and playful self. I dont know what it might be and since I live in Qatar, there arent many good vets around. The rash is on his back towards the lower part and there are currently 2 circular rashes. I have realized that this happens when the weather gets a bit hot. He rarely goes outside and stays in the house so i dont know what the cause might be if someone can please help. thank u. :( |
It could be from a food or environmental allergy. Can you post a picture of it ? Has the vet done a skin scraping of the rash ? |
the vets here arent that good so im pretty sure he just looked at it and prescribed the cream and shots. I cant take a picture now because hes hiding out but when he comes out i will. |
If it's red & circular, it's most likely ringworm... a fungal infection but it is contagious if left untreated. It's also very itchy, the cream that your vet gave you should help. |
Yes, it could be ringworm, but if it comes & goes & mostly only happens when it's hot, I doubt it would be ringworm. Unless the med is clearing it up & is not used for a long enough time, then it could be ringworm as it can be tough to get rid of if mets are not used for long enough OR he keeps reinfecting himself from unlaundered bedding or something like that. |
