BobbyTheBeagle Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've recently noticed these patches on the underside of Bobby, And i've noticed he's scratching a lot lately, he scratches the underside part with his hind leg. I've checked thoroughly to make sure its not fleas.. what could it be? I've uploaded some photos as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamSnag Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) How old is he? My bitch who is 9 months had like pimply type things on her skin.. She was chewing/scratching, vet said its a hormonal thing (baby going to teenager) Maybe Try a Melaseb wash on him, it will help with the rash Edited March 24, 2009 by SeaMonKeY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be going into tennager now right?? What's Melaseb? Is this worth a Vet visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggy_puggy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 If he is scratching there then he has scratched his hair off. Could be anything from a food allergy to a contact allergy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyTheBeagle Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Vet said it could be anything....diet, grass, weather.. and told me to cut off some red meat... He was given some cortisone too along with some cream that I could use for next time.. What's the most likely thing? a seasonal allergy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glendabenda Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 My 7 month old bulldog x has been told the same, keep away from beef and dairy. We have just started her on artemis medium puppy formula, so will se how that goes. She also gets chicken necks, wings (including turkey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru Borders Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 we have just been through this and still are with Asher. Check out the link below and see if anything there looks familiar and if so, stop your Dog from going near them, or remove them. One thing I have learned is that this season has been the worst for allergies and flea's etc. Just cos you dont see a flea, doesnt mean that little bugger hasnt bitten your fur baby and jumped off to find another victim. their cheeky lil buggers :rolleyes: http://www.dermcare.com.au/pdf/Wandering_Jew.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
