Another £130
Bk at the vet with Tank, his foliculitis is still an issue, mainly on bk of neck and random spots on his back, vet did skin scrapes, hair plucks and bloods too.
Scrapes are clear, blood (liver, kidneys,thyroid) all clear, hair plucks clear !
So, what's causing the foliculitis ? He's on 2 weeks of antibiotics then needs a checkup... She mentioned skin puncture biopsys next.
When my girl was a pup, she had foliculitis, covered in spots, endless tests but it was an over abundance of the staphylococcus aurus bacterial which is usually on the skin. She got over it after a cpl of mths.
So I'm thinking Tank has similar condition, thankfully we are insured so I'm willing for the vet to test whatever needed, just want him bk to normal.
If only love was a cure eh
