could anyone tell me what this is

[twelsh 350]

my terrier has started with this a couple of weeks ago plus loss of hair but i have used benzyl benzoate and that has brought the fur back but not this on the back of her neck and its not a collar rubbing or anything ike that so could anyone give me any ideas how to treat this i have used antiseptic cream and all that but the scabby part seems to clear but no hair growing back this picture is back of the dogs neck

My terrier used to get the odd patch usually in the autumn , she used to lick it constantly, i eneded up getting steriods in the end of the vet , but it wasnt usually to bad once she stopped licking it

[twelsh 350]

the problem is that it isnt bothering her shes not trying to itch it or anything but it doesnt look right and also my other terrier has got the same on the side of her neck so i were wondering if it is ring worm or something like it or a mite in their skin

possibly hormone imbalance or mite?

It was the hormone route the vet went down as it happens , it used to drive me nuts trying to stop her licking it

this is a result of cross breeding terrier breeds. the dog has been crossed with a casting dog and a dog that needs clippered. terriers are famous for this and its all down to the manaement of the breeding and the breeds. hormone injections or now tablets will strenghten the jeans that encourage the growth and limit the casting caused by the skin type. many terriers have a thick coat that even wearing collers take them to the skin but it is a man made problem. take the dog to the vet so he can work out the correct solution

 

Feck is it Christmas Jbs you agreeing with Kay and me?

may sound silly but when i used to breed guineapigs they started getting bald patches like that so the old blue sheep treatment spray....works a dream

Looks like ringworm or other fungal type infection, one of my dogs had similar only on back leg, because when the dogs are out near farmland often they can get the ringworm etc easy.

Dont bother with antisceptic creams etc they will add moisture to it and the more moist it is the longer it stays and grows. The only wet you should put on it is to clean it and then apply the right cream. The creams you want to get ya hands on you could get from ya doctors or prob off net, you could also do with an anti microbial wash like ya get in hospitals to wash ya hands, use it to clean around it. If it is ringworm it will spread and looks like two bloches there, you could also catch it, nothing to be too worried of though. I have had ringworm myself from a gym, if you sweat regularly it stays for ages and needs treating but if you are inactive it sometimes goes on its own. With my dog I just cleaned it well and then put my cream on him I had and it cleared up in about two weeks, it will go first and then after another week the hair will start to grow back.

 

Antifungal infection cream

Anti microbial wash

Make sure you wash ya hands after handling the dog,, seen some on peoples faces and that dont look too good ha ha

 

I would go to my doctors and tell him I train at a gym and at the minute ringworm is rife and everyones got it and everyone been advised by the gym to get body wash as precaution from the doctor because of everyone having it, ask him can he give ya anything, then also ask for cream to apply at first sight of it, or tell him ya had a red ring mark on ya body .. JUST USE IT FOR YA DOG IN LESSER DOSAGES on the effected area. By the way on humans it looks like a pink circle anything from pea size to 2 pound coin and varying spots around the circle. On a dog loogs like patchy spots very rarely see the worm circle shape.

 

I would try this before giving ya dog any hormone stuff from vets mate, could mess him up a bit. If it is any type of skin infection the cream ya get will sort it, as mentioned antisceptic is no good for fungal type infections.

 

Good luck mate hope ya sort it
