Post by Mollyanna Tue Sep 02 2014, 06:33

Hi guys. I have a 5 month old long leg staffy, very cute Smile recently his been coming out in little rashes where his fur is no longer there. Yes he has bit it and every time we see him we do stop him. But it's come up a lot in just a month. He has been to the vets and checked for mites. The tests results have come back clear and he has another appointment tomorrow. Is there any one out there that's ever had this happen before.
Thank you unsure

I hope you can find out, might be worth asking them to do another scrape for mites as well, just in case, though that usually starts on the head/face. Seasonal alopeacia does start on the sides and back end so maybe worth mentioning that to the vets. Let us know how he gets on at the vets xx

Welcome from Darcy and me Smile

Ask the vet to check for sarcoptic mange, I'm not sure if they've done it already or if the scraped for just demodex (mange) xx
