Hi,
Took blade to the vet this evening as he seems to have bumpy skin, only on his right shoulder/neck. She wasn't sure what it was so gave him anti-inflammatory jab and 5 days of antibiotics (synulox) she did mention mange though... I always thought that made all the hair fall out?? It isn't bothering him at all, but it just isn't right. Has anybody had this sort of thing before? He is a dobe of 18 weeks. I did speak to the breeder too and she wasn't sure what it was either.
Thanks
Em

my dobe girl had the same problem and it started at 16 weeks.the first time i went to the vet he did as yours has,just incase it was mange he gave her a jab.however ,the skin got worse she had pimples and hair lose over her shoulders ,the vet said it was folliculitis and gave her an antibiotic and i had to wash her twice a week with special shampoo.although the medication kept it under control it never completely went away.a blood test a year later showed her tyroid was under active and the pills she got for that did help her coat but again it never completely went away.
regards munb
