Scab on back

[CANNOLI12]

Hi everyone,
My tootsie rolls has a large scab on her back with hair falling out. It started small and now is much bigger. We recently changed her to an all raw diet but not sure if this could be the issue? Any help would be great! Thank you

If it happened shortly after the diet change u can certainly try blaming the diet.

What were you feeding exactly and what are you now?

She previously was on Ollie wet which is more of a natural raw diet, mixed with Fromm turkey weight management kibble.

Now she’s on only Ollie raw which u thought would help her weight and skin.

When they start out they look like crop circles...at least, that's what we call them. This is likely a simple staph infection and will require antibiotics. Douxo Mousse(S3) applied directly to the affected area can also help. Build the pup's immune system with fresh sauerkraut or probiotic.
We use this...
Probiotic Miracle

Thank you, yes I’ve been doing the mousse it’s working but I’ll try the probiotic too. Thanks for the recommendation

When Jake had that I would shave around the scab, wash with dawn dish soap n really rinse well. Let it dry properly n apply NuStock. Took about 3 days for it to heal. Yes hair regrows n NuSock actually helps grow hair.

As mentioned, Probiotics n Prebiotics will balance the guts flora n build the immune system. You can also give raw liver as a topper/snack.
