My dog has a horrible skin condition - after 2 courses of different antibiotics it's done nothing so they took swabs and ruled out infection.
They said it's not mites and not infection leaving auto immune (and nothing else) but they want a diagnosis before treatment
So after reading everything I was a bit forceful on getting steroids as that's the treatment for all auto immune (and it's been 3 weeks and the dog is miserable and in horrible pain and waking me all night with his constant cone licking as it's all round his mouth)
But the vet isn't entirely happy and wanted to wait (at least 2 weeks) for a skin specialist
If there is no other treatment and auto immune is the only thing remaining, what am I missing ?

The doghouse
Annoyed, slightly embarrassed and not sure I've done the right thing
