My dog has a recurring rash. My vet prescribed him Simplecif, but the medication only takes the rash away temporarily and it keeps coming back.
The vet has referred him to a specialist, but before I take him there I would like to know if there is something I can do at home to treat the dog rash.
The rash starts in a form of a small pimple and it pusses. When the pimple pops it becomes very dry and flaky, the rash grows in a circular size and the hair in the area of the rash falls off… each area of the rash is very small in size – close to the size of a pea.
What can I do to treat this? I don’t know if its a fungal/bacterial infection, allergies, hot spots, etc. I do know its not from fleas or ticks as my dog has never had them.
Please help. I have spent so much money taking him to different vets and they don’t know what it is…it would be difficult to afford a specialty vet.
