Question by sunny: My 2 1/2 yr old mixed breed dog recently is getting big very itchy bumps he scratches so much. They are on his
They are on his side and mostly on his back. They are “clustered” maybe 6-8. He scratches them and they bleed. I have given him medicated baths, put anti-biotic cream, hydrocortizone cream, which brings some relief but they dont go away. Has anyone had this happen to their dog?
I have changed his dog food thinking it may be an allergy. He comes back in the house like that when he goes out to use the bathroom or just “hang out” in the yard. He doesnt get it from being in the house, only when he comes back in from outside. It isn’t ticks or fleas. If they were ticks I would see them would’t I and be able to “pull them off”? And fleas, I would be able to see them. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

Take him to the vet. It’s probably an allergy.

Question by melissa: My dog has recently developed spots of hair loss, what could this be?
My 2 year old female German Shepherd has recently developed spots on her back between her hips of hair loss. It appears as though the undercoat is there and there is a light top coat that remains. We have taken her to the vet and have ruled out food allergies. The spots are not bilateral but rather sporadic spots that vary in shape and size. She bites and grooms as usual and we have her on flea and tick treatments. There has also been mild hair loss on the back of her legs near her rump. It does not cause her discomfort and the spots are not red or irritated. Before taking her to a dermatologist I was hope to get some feedback. Does anyone know what this could be? Any in home treatments? Ever had an experience like this before?

has your vet done a skin scraping to check for demodetic or sarcoptic mange? if you have ruled out food alllergies and fles, this is another possibility.
