Tried oatmeal bath - no improvement. Has anyone had to deal with this and how did you solve the problem.
this must be driving the poor guy crazy.
He must likely has mange. My son got a shelter dog and spent $1400 days on this and that at the vet changing food and everything else. One day, the wife of a friend who had work for a vet saw the dog and said that it was mange. My son took the dog to the vet where she had worked and YES! That was it! A pill that costs $20 was the cure and the dog has been fine every since!
