did you CALL the vet and ASK?

sometimes (especially if you have a good relationship with them) vets
will consult over the phone...


personally if my dog is sick it's just like my kid is sick and they go
to the vet. and yes it CAN be very expensive.

I have one pup who gets meds every day... no insurance. I pay it.
she needs it.

my dog had a tummy rash all the time... she was on cheap food and that
lowered her allergy levels enough that grass bothered her even in
small amounts.

improved her food and the rash is gone.

when she got it I would put a cream the vet gave me on it and also
give her benedryl.


I hope you can afford the vet. that is truly part of dog ownership.

I don't see how on earth you can expect a bunch of strangers who may or
may not have any experience with dogs to diagnose your dog's skin
condition over the internet. It could be food allergies, contact
allergies, fleas, mange, etc. Yes, there are probably ways to treat the
symptoms, but the responsible thing to do is find out what's causing the
problem and fix it at the source. *That* will probably require a visit
to the vet.

Done thanks, I just wanted suggestions not a diagnosis.
