Guest BassoonMo Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Easy has what looks to be a rash where his front leg meets his body. It doesn't seem to hurt him but he has been licking at it. Should I worry about this or put anything on it? We're new greyhound owners, so I don't want to mess up! :-) Thanks, Monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greytluck Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It's hard to see but it looks like he may have just scratched himself. Keep an eye on it, but I wouldn't worry about it to much.

KF_in_Georgia Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It's good that you have a photo. You can take another photo in 24 hours and compare them. My Jacey had a slightly worse rash on her backside. It lasted more than a week, and the vet prescribed Gentocin spray. The spray worked wonders in just a few days. But Jacey wasn't licking her rash, so it's possible that Easy's really is just a scratch that's annoying him.

Guest GordonInTo Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi BassoonMo, what is the latest on this rash or scratch? My guy has had a rash for awhile and was on meds but it never cleared up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 As a new houndie owner, you might not be aware that their skin is very fragile. That looks like he probably brushed up against something like a limb on a small tree or just a bush. Doesn't look like a rash to me. Just keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't improve, you might take the dog to the vet. My boy gets all sorts of mysterious red marks and such on him--they usually disappear in a day or two.
