[luckylady]

My ten month old Akita has started to show some lesion tups things on her paws, and on her head whilst stroking yesterday a big climp of hair came out with scaps in it ans onow on the top of her head is a perfect round patch of raw red skin... [
I am taking her to vets this afternoon...

I am so worried...

Has anyone else had this with their dog can anyone give me any advice...
Thank yo in advance

Hve just checked her head again and it has already strted to form a nice clean scab which has made me feel a bit happier, just want to know what caused it....and to make sure it doesn't return!!

When I was small we had a jack russell and its hair came out in clumps. It was some skin problem and cleared up with powder from the vet. I remember her being itchy and rubbing herself onnnnn chair legs etc!

She is booked intot he vets for 5.30 this evening so will let you know what they say.

It was ringworm....

The only place thing i can think off where she has picked it up is the stray cats farm the farm behind, or the soil!!!.

The vet gave her .3 injections and some cream, she has to go back in two weeks for more jabs.

at least you know what it is and she is being treated!
