Hi guys,
Need some help here if you don't mind. I'm worried about my three year old Bullie.
When he had his booster at the end of September we go him weighed and he weighed in at 60kgs. I was really pleased at his weight because when we first brought him home he was very overweight and not very active.
Tuesday evening I noticed that he had a funny patch of skin on his back above his tail and it looked sore and the hair fell out. I bathed it and kept an eye on it. On Wednesday morning I mnopticed another LARGE patch exactly the same as the one on his back but this one was on his shoulder. Again it looked sore, weeping and the hair fell out.
My vet says he has wet eczema and gave him an injection and antibiotics to help clear it up. However, prior to her doing this she needed to know his weight and I told her he was last weighed in at 60kgs, but, he had dropped some weight so she weighed him again. He's know only 55kgs, he's lost nearly a stone in ten weeks! I'm very worried about him.
We have to take him back to the vets in two weeks so we can continue to monitor his weight loss. Any ideas out there of what it could be?????
