    New question about OB

    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?

    Ring worm is my guess...It's catching to humans...Take the poor dog to the vet; he must be miserable.

    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

    Sounds like ring worm.  To the vet he goes!!  Or should at least.  Ring worm is nasty.

    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.
