HI All,
I'm hoping you guys can help me out!
Hailey is 7 months old...
For the past month, her inner left leg has been very red and it appears that her hair is sparse now. This seems to have occurred after her spaying and we initially thought it might be a reaction to have her abdomon being shaved from her surgery (and she was diagnosed with pyoderma) at her surgical appointment.
I took her to the vet and the vet said it could be an allergy to grass and advised we wipe her down after the yard (we do that) and give her benedryl twice a day. The vet thought she was licking her leg and prescribed an inflatable neck collar. We have NEVER seen her lick her leg EVER.
For the past couple of weeks, its been getting worse. Now it's getting pimple like bumps (whiteheads) and it feels warm to touch at times.
She's been on Nature's Variety Instinct Grain Free (Duck) for the past two weeks and I'm wondering if that's irritating her? She was previously on NVI Salmon. We've stopped all treats...
Any thoughts? Does this sound like demodex mange? I've google pictures of that and it doesn't appear as it's her entire little leg?
Thanks for all of your help!
