They are home and the vet sent off a sample of his hair for a ringworm test. He said he is sure its not, but he wants to rule everything out 100%. They did a skin scraping and no demodex, so yay! He said since it doesnt itch or he doesnt lick it, he thinks it some type of a fungal or skin irritation. He said if it was allergy related he would be licking and scratching. However we were told about Dr Davis and that he was an excellent bully vet, so he went there today. Don't get me wrong, I like my usual vet, but he did no tests or nothing, just said staph and gave antibiodics. TWICE> So we just felt better with this visit. He doesn't think its staph either. Anyway, we are waiting on the culture and he gave him cephalexin 500mg twice a day for 10 days and ketoconazole 200 mg 3/4 tablet once a day for 14 days but wants to see him back for a recheck in 10 days just to see if this is helping. As well as continue the shampoo for previously. Also he suggested selsun blue for his dryness. pray this works. He said he is very healty, just need this irriataion to clear up an go away.
