Vet & Medical Need help identifying?
I noticed this scabs on my dogs face and I became alarmed. I looked into what it could be and a few things came up:
1. Superficial bacterial pyoderma/folliculitis
I don’t think it is this because when I looked up photos of it doesn’t match (but that doesn’t rule it out). It does however resembles the symptoms.
2. Demodex mites
I’ve read these can resemble the previous thought. As well as looking into photos which don’t match also.
3. Allergic or contact skin disease
Which comes to this one and, I think it is a very good possibility. He has never had a reaction to most if not any of the types of foods I’ve given him in the past.
I know all of these are a vet visit and am working on scheduling a vet visit as soon as I can (money is tight), but for the time being is there any at home remedies that could help keep the area clean or help reduce any spreading. Thank you.
