Chaos has had a few bumps on his tummy from time to time and we just figured it was caused from his occasional accidents in his crate before we get home.
I was giving him a bath since i was off today (yes he gets lots of baths) and noticed it looked horrible. The bumps went from his neck to his scrotum and all over tge insides of his legs. Some were just red patches, some were scabby and some looked pus filled. So i decided it was vet time assuming it was demodex since one of his siblings had been previously diagnosed. So we got to the vet and found out he has a staph infection. He said it seemed as an allergy to something and had got infected. So he gave him a 10 day dose of simplicef and a shampoo called vet medicated shampoo. The good news is its not the kind that contagious to humans. (althoughvit still freaks me out and i have washed everthing today. It doesnt seem to bother him, just looks horrible. But thus far no demodex. Yay. On the up side the vet couldnt stop saying what a good looking bully he was...made a momma proud :-)
