KevO 42 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 What I can see the way there treating the dog is, the antibiotic is in case the skin problem is through an infection, the scrub is to keep the area clean and the spot on is in case a biting parasite is causing the bald spots, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE GENERAL 1,975 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) What I can see the way there treating the dog is, the antibiotic is in case the skin problem is through an infection, the scrub is to keep the area clean and the spot on is in case a biting parasite is causing the bald spots, I agree with Kev, the vet is trying 3 different ways to fix the problem. I'd say after the wks course of antibiotics is finished if the dog doesn't seem to be getting anyway better, within a day after, I'd be going back in looking answers. Keep us posted.

onion jonny 526 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 the antibiotic is for any secondary infection the hibi scrubb is to clean and treat any infection around the area and the strong hold is for killing the sarcopties mite sometimes called fox mite as this is the mange that they get and is highly contagious.
