Guest Jollybug Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I have had Jolly since Dec. and he has had these spots on his ears. They are usually toward the tips. Round with a scab that forms on it. They will just appear. Does anyone know what this is? You may need more info. Please ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotaina Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Could be a number of things - do you have pictures? Could be sarcoptic mange, could be some sort of contact dermatitis, could be something autoimmune. Have you been to a vet for a skin scraping?

Yes I have been to the vet and had a scraping done. Nothing! It starts out as a bump and then scabs over. The vet thinks maybe an allergy to food. I have changed his food and it seems to be happening less.Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambuca Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 My boy has that. It is only a few spots here and there and they don't seem to bother him so the vet and I decided not to worry about them. If they are bothering your hound maybe some vitamin e or other moisturizing cream can sooth it so he stops scratching which will hopefully stop the cycle. It's worth a try to see if it works.

Thank you. They're not bothering him so I will just not worry about them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
