A few weeks ago I took Lily to the vet because she had a small blad spot on her lower back.The vet said it was seasonal allergies and gave us Clavamox. Well the spot is still there and the skin looks red now where it did not before. I've put HP on it, Vit E and Douxo but nothing seems to be working. I am going to call the vet in the am. I'm wondering if she could have Demodex.
Is there anything else I should try?

Any thougths??

Lola has a similar balding spot and the vet told me it was probably allergies as well. i'm going to keep hp and vit e lotion on it. Lola s spot isn't as red tho. more like dry skin

Not scabby. A little flaking..not much.
It just got red like over night!! :(

That is very much what Gypsy's demodex looked like. Got really red and looked a little scaly but not really, kwim? Is it itchy?

I don't think it's itchy. She doesn't try to scratch it...
What you said sounds just like what she has now.
It's red and a little scaly or flanky...
I'm thinking it might be demodex to. Calling the vet right now!
