Skin condition

Tania · Sep 26, 2018

My beautiful boy has a little patch of red lumpy rash on his leg. It isn't hurting him he just scratches now and again. I've been putting sudocrem on it and it seems to ease the redness but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere? It can't be his food because he's been on the same food for a while. Any ideas what I can do????

Can you post a picture? That will give us a better idea. Also, dogs (like people) can develop an intolerance to a food at any time.

It could also be environmental. Is it Fall where you are?

OUCH. That must be driving him nuts. I'd take him to the vet.

If under a year... it could be mange, if older, possibly infection, needing antibiotics

That looks pretty intense. I would definitely have them do a scraping and check for mange, then at least you know what you are dealing with and decide what method of treatment that you want to use.
