Bonos funny skin
hello we have recently acquired a male staff called bono when he arrived he had a funny mark on the top of his head which when the vet saw said it was a fungal infection she supplied a cream which we used religoulsy for 2 weeks she said use intill it had gone how ever all it seems to do is make the bald patch around it bigger

Re: Bonos funny skin
Are you sure the hair is thinning more or is it just getting wet from the cream and it appears to going more bald? You may need to pop back to the vet for another look at it.
Do you have a photo ?

Re: Bonos funny skin
I'd certainly get him off the Wagg - not a good food at all! Wainwrights is quite a good one, or have a look through this....

The bald spot sounds more like a slight demodex attack than a fungal infection. I take it the vet didn't do a skin scrape?

I'd bring him to get a skin scrape/sample if possible. I had to do this and it really helped

I would get your vet to do a skin scrape for demodex. Or try using an advocate spot-on on him when he is due a flea treatment and see if the thinning improves.
