So its getting a little out of hand... Ive tried drying his chin after he drinks water, cleaning after he goes out sides, etc...
And his chin is not getting any better...
Any advice?

Would your vet possibly take a look at that pic and let you pick up meds? It does look pretty brutal. And sorry this is happening even with you trying to keep him dry. Our guy had a red rash all down his neck after an ecollar recently, no doubt from being damp in there, and we were given gen-one spray that cleared it right up. He was also already on antibiotics but your guy may need some, poor thing. You may also want to try ceramic food bowls (my vet thinks stainless wears down over time and many dogs react to this metal breakdown) and wash with hot soapy water after each feeding and the water dish 2x a day as well. In the past a good thick antibiotic ointment from the vet worked for the acne (Muricin) in addition to the antibiotics. Hope he is better soon!So its getting a little out of hand...

Sorry for taking so long to reply. But Duke has an appointment on on Friday, so hopefully they'll be able to get him on some antibiotics.
I've been having LOTS of issues with Duke, from the chin acne, to having those cysts in between his toes and occasionally he gets these lumps across his sides and back
Obviously he's allergic to something and its coming down to getting that really expensive allergy test done in order to know exactly what it could be.
As far as food goes, we've tried a couple brands, currently we're feeding him Natural Balance Venison and Sweet Potato.
Ill keep you guys posted!!
My eb boy bubbles' chin looked just like your boys chin maybe not as bad but he had open sores and it was red and bleeding. I thought staph but what I used where malectic wipes which are essentially malaket wipes (have no idea why they're named differently) and this topical cream from natural dog company called skin soother. I cleaned his face with the wipes let it dry and then added the soother and within 2 days the redness is nearly almost gone and bumps have gone down significantly in size. The soother is made of all natural ingredients that are not harmful in ingested accisentlt. I've been using it for a year and it works amazingly in folds and irritated areas. They just released a wrinkle balm stick which I can't wait to try. So yep Just an idea if this should happen again.

It is moist bc of the balm factor but I check his folds everyday and it does dry up but it helps a ton.I want to try this! [MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] What do you think?
My vet doesn't like stuff like this, prefers Neo-predef in folds. [MENTION=14068]bsmith3[/MENTION] - does it dry or is it moist in the folds??
