Frozen BilJac is a good thing! Brody ate his dinner!! :confetti

 

We are talking about switching his antibiotics because the current mix isn't doing much for the poor boy. Here are pics that I took tonight.

Ucodoggielover said that Dora had a similar skin condition so I forwarded her information to GALT and Dr. S. Hopefully we will know more tomorrow.

The spots look scabbier and less red in this picture to me. Are they in real life?

A full tummy is a wonderful thing. Sending more healing thoughts to this sweet boy.

hugs for him and kudos for you for helping this poor boy...even if he is uncomfortable I m sure he is one happy hound to have someone care for him

Sure does look like staph. Glad he is eating :)

 

Ditto-

I started to sob when I saw the first pics, like he was one of my own :(

I am very glad he is eating---are you or is the treating vet open to any holistic supplements?? He would benefit from some bovine colostrum,

I am sure of it!

Continuued prayers for this "Brave Brody Brindle" :colgate

I'm not familiar with bovine colostrum for dogs. Are talking about calf manna? We used to feed it to the orphan calves, but never thought about it for dogs.

 

We have switched antibiotics and his feet are looking a little less swollen. Although I'm not supposed to give him a bath, I did put some oatmeal water on his really itchy places. He seemed to really enjoy it and I hope it helps. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears. The fungal test came back negative, so we don't really know what is going on. If it's not mange, not fungal, what else can it be?

 

Our boy did go after the toy I bought for DBF's puppy today. He really didn't know what to do with it after he got it, but it was still pretty cute. :wub:

 

I'll try to get more pics tomorrow.

 

Thanks for caring,

 

Kelly

Most likely staph as already mentioned or allergic dermatitis (flea allergy will do that, for example). Will you be able to bathe him soon?

 

He's a cute kid, and we're rooting for him. Thank you for all the care and love you're giving him.
