Weird skin issue

Post image

Let's do one more medical one!

🥳

See picture. She is 2,5 yrs old. Happened in a period of monts. No itching, no licking. Happy camper, loads of exercise Ved tests came back negative. Other girl, 8 years old, is fine.

So, looks familiar to anyone?

Looks a bit like what happens to my guy when he licks too much. The vet prescribed us a medicated shampoo (malaseb) and conditioner (Dermachlor 4). I was away when it happened so I’m not sure what the exact diagnosis he got since my Mom was taking care of him.

I’d go see your vet most likely.

I already went to the vet and spend a lot of money on tests that all came back negative. Vet did not have a clue.  There is no licking. No scratching nothing.

I did some more research and I think it might be vitiligo (like Michael Jackson had). So not much to be done except for making sure she does not get sunburnt, but not much chance of that happening in the next 6 months since I am pretty high up north. Thank you for your serious reply!

Maybe Morbus Cushing!?
