My boy Sam, 8 month old BM about 90lbs has developed several patches of raw irritated skins spots that are super itchy for him when touched. He has two on his back and several small areas on his head and neck. We called the vet and should be in to see him tomorrow or Friday. In the meantime I have been applying Bag Balm to the bigger spots on his back. Hopefully the picture helps...
He currently eats TOTW Sierra Mt twice a day getting 2.5 cups each meal with a fish oil pill in each sitting. His bowl movements are regular and firm and he gets ample water throughout the day.
Now...my wife just recently bought treats for Sam and our Beagle "Belle" and on accident forgot about the "Allergies" that come with the BM's. I forgot about it and apparently she has been supplementing these on a regular basis and they are loaded with grain and chicken. The only other treat he has been exposed too other than the new ones from my wife is a bag of Roasted Pig ears.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid of the antibiotic dump my vet may want to explore and not sure what is causing this, treatment and preventative... please help.
Another thing...He has been swimming quite a bit in our pool, could that be it??? Exposure to the chlorine??
Thanks Joe
