yellowgirl Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think Madeline might be feeling a bit left out with all the medical dramas the other dogs have been having the past few weeks, so last night when I got home she presented me with this! Just so you're not completely confused, Maddie doesn't have an eye on that side. Short history... She's now 4 years old. When I got her about a year and a half ago she was covered in staph infections which we finally got under control, but it seems her skin has never quite recovered. She still gets breakouts, but in general it's managable. Last month she smelled a bit 'yeasty' and had some funny looking bumps, so the vet put her back on antibiotics. She's been on a four week course and next week will have finished the course. She has no redness on any other part of her body, just the left side of her face, and going down her neck a little way. It wasn't there yesterday morning. We've had no change in food, shampoos, clothing, washing powder, or anything else I can think of. It's still the same this morning. Any thoughts?

Crisovar Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 When did you clip her face last? Could she be irritated from that and scraching or rubbing her face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowgirl Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi Crisovar, I clipped her face about 2 weeks ago. I usually do it every 1 - 2 weeks then moisturise with sorbolene. This works well for her and she doesn't have any redness or irritation afterwards. I certainly won't be doing it this weekend though! I haven't noticed her scratching or rubbing, which is why I was so surprised to see it yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowgirl Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Insect bites???Reaction to the antibiotics?? Hmmm, don't know .... would it take 3 weeks to react to the ABs? It has a kind of eczema, psoriosis (sp?) look to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Oooh, poor little darling. The skin is such a troublesome organism that anything could have caused it, really. I get outbreaks that look a little bit like that on my leg of all places. I just keep the moisturiser (unscented of course) up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajtek Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Would NeotopicH help? It's our "magic" cream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have Ilium Neocort in the dogs' "medicine chest" but I wouldn't use until consulting the vet. Glad that Madeline's excuse to get on the medical bandwagon has subsided. Hope it stays away now. Cuddle cuddle ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
