He is on for over a month now, steriods and antibiotics, and his fur is getting thinner and thinner.
He is flaking so bad on his back that he looks just like he has been in a snow storm. I am bathing him twice a week. Fearful that he had mange, we went back to the vets for the third time since June!
He does NOT have mange (thank goodness!), but he does have a bacterial infection. Even though he is on antibiotics, they are just not covering him. Now we are checking him for hypothyroidism, which I will bet he has.
Even his gate is off. When I walk him, he trips on his right leg. Only on pavement do I notice it though. Hypothyroidism can cause a myriad of symptoms (I know, because I have had it for aver 18 years!)
I will find out on Monday.
