Pyoderma

Hi all…
as for the rash.....to find out, the rash was called PYODERMA, Cali is taken Clavamox every 12 hours for 3 weeks, Chlorhexiderm Shampoo every 2-3 days, andHydroxyzine every 8-12 hours as needed that for the itching.
Cali is doing fine the PYODERMA is not spreading no more so thats a good thing, I was talking to her vet, she said it was common in puppies.
just want to know if anyone has had this in there Basenji's

Hi Mark,
Boy if I had a nickel for every time Nala was on Clavamox! They actually never diagnosed what the rash(es) were but let me tell you…we even went to the doggie dermatologist in NH (Vicky Sheit?? something like that) All I can say is "hang in there!" Nala is now 8 and I can't remember whether she was on it past 2 years old (YIKES!) But it was fairly mild but as a puppy, she lost the hair around her eyes and spread out a bit from there...
Don't stress too much about it, but keep an eye on it and take her to the specialist if it doesn't clear up or keeps recurring...
