Help Needed! Pinkish Neck

[Davidh]

Great advise above, plus I don't know if you leave his collar on or not, but if you do, i would leave it off when he is not on a walk. Hope he gets better soon.

Man that neck looks like its had some where and tear on that neck, rubbed raw if you will . perhaps a narrow chain would be better. the skin would have time to dry out more quickly

Sorry about Tonka. Hope you get a handle on his problem and he gets better soon. I'm no expert but what about a harness to keep anything off his neck? Good luck!

Wondering how the vet visit went today and keeping my fingers crossed it's going to heal easily.

Alright, I just got back from the vet! Tonka did well. It was minor hot spots. And it turned out he had an ear infection I never knew about. Vet shaved his chin area to get to the affected area. Glad it didn't spread even more. Vet also gave me anti-biotics and ointment for his spots. I'm not sure what gave him the spots. Maybe it was the collar not giving enough oxygen to his neck area. I ended up going to petsmart when I left him at the hospital and bought him a harness. Tonka will be on meds for the next 2 weeks. Thanks for all your concerns. I will keep you guys in the loop and let you know how he will be doing for the next few days. Tonka and I appreciate all the love you guys have shown us! Much appreciated!

I am so happy he is doing well and you were able to get that taken care of. I love his smooshy face

Oh how sweet! I'm sure that is was from the collar and his eating/drinking habits. All the moisture just stayed under the collar andirritated his skin. He's on the mend now.

Yeah, I am glad it wasn't too big of a problem, and that he's doing better. The vet did tire him out, he's more active now. Thanks for your support!
