Thanks for all the advice from everyone. Its already starting to look a little better and acting a little more like himself. We're gonna give it another day or so and if we dont see a change after the home remedies we'll take him in. Really appreciate the advice and warm welcome from everyone! :)

Can you shave the area? Keeping the fur off it will help dry it up. Hope it is getting better for your baby!

I don't think he'll let us shave it. I agree with the possibility of it being the collar. The last skin infection he had was from his last collar.We bought a kong brand because it seemed to have more cushion but I think it absorbed the sweat and may caused the infection. Any advice on the type of collar you guys all use.

We just use a regular leather collar, but use a harness to walk her. She never has any if it on when at hone tho. Try keeping the collar off her and use a harness for a bit to see if the helps any?

We did that for a while and just had a harness on him, and we'll go back to that. But I'm gonna look in to getting him a leather collar then and just keep it off at home. Thanks to everyone for all the advice! This site has been so helpful!
