Hi, not sure if my pic has uploaded, basically my 5 year old choc lab has developed 3 sores on her shoulder..

Been to the VETs and they prescribed ear drops to put on the problem area, she thought it was a type of eczema, looks really sore today as she has been scratching has removed the scan off one area..

I am really worried about her, any one had similar or can offer any advice?

This has appeared on her about 10 days ago and is getting no better really, she had 3 affected area all close together, one has virtually healed as it is one only tiny, but the other 2 area that joint together as can be seen on the pic are getting no better, one of them had a scab on but she scratched it off today and still looks really sore.

My wife is taking her for a second opinion at another VETs tomorrow..

Hope someone may be able to offer some advice / similar issues etc.. I am worried that her fur won't grow back..

She is fine in herself, but obviously irritated by this.. ☹️

Thanks

Hope you'll find out what the problem is and get it sorted. Her fur should then grow back.

Good luck.

It really is something for the vet to sort out, but, in the meantime, if she is scratching at the area, try putting a teeshirt on her to stop her getting to the affected area. This in itself should help in the healing process
