QUESTION:

he has always had itchy dry skin and would itch till it bleed or made sores or both–usually on his back near his tail–this usually cleared up with sulfodene but after going away for a couple of days i came home to a mess-it is everywhere even in his ears it is not red like i read mange can be bit it is a scabby soar-it this something like a fungus should i give sulfodene a chance i currently really cant afford a big vet bill can you help

ANSWER:


Dear,

Unfortunately you must visit your vet again. He must check first the anal sacs which can be inflamated and full. He must do microscopic examination of the skin for mange (in the ears too). Protect your dog of fleas using some long lasting ectoparasitic, as Frontline. Flea bite can produce allergy reaction. If everything previous is ok, change the food to your pat with hypoallergenic one.

I hope this will help you

Truly
