Hello,
A month ago Bebe underwent a splenectomy for a incredibly enlarged spleen. She has pulled through great. (Many thanks to Dr. Williams...without the Splenomegaly info on the web, I may have been convinced to put her to sleep).
The problem is that she has developed an itchy rash in the past week. It is hard and bumpy under the skin, concentrated on the top of her head, chin, around ears and muzzle and runsdown between her shoulders. Vet has done a skin scrape and found no mites but some yeast. She gave me Tesaderm drops for her ears, but Bebe's itching seems to be getting worse. There is no hair loss, her appetite is huge and she seems normal besides this rash.
Any advice?
Rowan
