Symptoms for those wanting to know: he has are sores all over his body, face, ears, paws, etc. Scabs on the sores. He seemed depressed and had lost a little bit of weight, gradually got worse over the last few months. Bloodwork all came back normal, scrapings negative for fungus, viruses, etc. He does have a "secondary bacterial infection" and is on antibiotics and getting antibiotic baths for that.
Biopsies taken, and still working on those, preliminary results are what say likely immune mediated disease, they are doing more tests on these.
It sounds just like the pemphigus posts that Sukie sent me the link to read old posts on here. We are going to continue the pred and see how he does. He is 5 yrs old so getting up there in age too.
