New question about OB

• New question about OB cmdrn Posted : 3/17/2006 1:17:22 PM Hi, I got a new question about my dog   He's always been having these skin issues. Rashes, strange absesses. Currently he's having these pretty nasty rash across his lower front jaw. He aint got no more hair there, just bare dark skin with strange round markings on them.   And he's also been having several bumps across his body (in several places including the head, chest and lower back).   I think its because his imune system is week and when he goes for a walk he really likes robbing himself against plants and weed. could it be it?

• cmdrn Posted : 3/17/2006 1:38:31 PM He had these rashes for 2 years now (Ever since he was entrusted to us), and he never gave them to anyone. He doesnt scratch or anything. The vet said once it could be because his immune system is weak.   There was this one time it really got to him, and knocked him down - we though it was a bee sting. He was given some steriods and the next day he was ok. OTher than that, it doesn't seem to really bother him 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tashakota Posted : 3/17/2006 2:31:55 PM Sounds like ring worm.  To the vet he goes!!  Or should at least.  Ring worm is nasty. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• leslie__chessies Posted : 3/17/2006 2:49:56 PM Also...I don't htink the rubbing on plants/bushes is the cause of the skin problems, but rather the result.  He's most likely itchy and this feels good to him.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
