pebbles Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 A couple of days ago I noticed Mick had a small patch on the side of his muzzle which I assumed he had stuck his head in somewhere and taken a bit of hair off. Yesterday this has enlarged/spread along the edge of his lip line and there's a small spot on the other side. It's not worrying him, not sore to touch, quite dry. It may be my imagination but at some angles there seems to be a very slight swelling. Any ideas, please? Only meds he is taking is the finish of the cortisone from his mystery illness. 1/2 tab every second day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Could be an infection - hair follicle/skin....maybe dab it with some betadine .. and see if it improves ? cortisone may slow the healing process. If it doesn't improve he may need AB's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebbles Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Thanks Persephone. I looked at the Betadine bottle, use it for a lot of things, but thought I'd ask first. Off to dab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
