Hello everyone! It’s our first post here and we’re just trying to figure out what’s going on with our baby boy Pluto. He’s a blue Dane that’s 5 months and 3 weeks old. It all started about four months ago when we got him. Raised bumps on his skin got our attention the bumps started on his head then they moved through his body, from his head to his back to his tail then down to his legs. The bumps are like raised pimples if you squeeze them puss will come out and then left behind is hair loss in that spot. They scab over and produce white dandruff, where the spots are the hair falls out but eventually comes back . Upon taking him to the vet they told us that it was a case of folliculitis so they put him on some antibiotics and prescribed us a shampoo, it helped but it didn’t clear up completely. At this time he was on taste of the wild Sierra mountain. The bumps didn’t go away until we went on vacation for a week to Hawaii. He stayed at my fathers house the whole week and was eating different food. When we got back to our excitement the bumps had disappeared and he has a beautiful shiny coat! After being back home for about a week the bumps started to appear again, our first thought was maybe he’s allergic to his food, so now we’ve switched him to Wellness Core Large breed puppy. The spots have come back and just gotten worse, our vet didn’t necessarily have a straight forward answer for us so we decided to get a second opinion
The vet we saw this week prescribed us another shampoo and conditioner that he said should help it disappear. Now here we are today and it hasn’t gotten any better. I’m just curious if anyone else has seen these bumps or had this same issue? We hate to see our baby like this and we’ve tried everything we can think of to fix it. He’s on fish oil, vitamin C, and wellness core large breed, and glycoflex 600 MG.
everything we have tried has seemed to fail. We’ve done different shampoos, antibiotics, switched foods, washed all of our bedding in all natural detergent/cleaned all of his toys and given him supplements. The spots don’t seem to bother him besides being mildly itchy. I’ve attached some photos to look at. Thanks for all of your input and responses ahead of time!
