Strange scabs

Teagan has some strange scabs on her head....

I noticed a few small scabs last week, but thought she had caught herself whilst on a walk, as she has caught her cheek and cut it (on a tree branch).

A few days later, more scabs appeared to the side of the original scabs - so I knew it wasn't an 'injury'.

Theres also one small scab on the back of her head, and there was one on her side, near her back leg.

I've tried to get a pic to show you...
i've also noticed to the left of the scabs, her hair is thin.......

I'm wondering if it's demodectic mange again?
It looks nothing like it did last time (she just went bald last time....no scabs).

They don't seem to itch her, but they are sore to the touch. She has rubbed the scabs off one patch this morning, so it's all red and raw.

I have tried to get a pic....but it was hard, as she won't stay still lol

(it's big so you can see properly).
The part on the left is the original scabs. The ones further to the right are the ones that came later.



Any ideas?

it might be a form of mange i would get it checked hun, as there is 2 types that i now of and the vet checked my nephews for both but it was the demodeci mande but she did say that there is a fox mange going round and it is not nice that one scabs up. sorry to sound bad but i now how you feel... let us now what happens hope it gets sorted soon.

Yes, there are 2 types of mange..>Demodectic and Sarcoptic.
We don't tend to go anywhere there are foxes though.

I've got a feeling it's demodecitc again, which is crap - cos she's allergic to the treatment!
Dogs!

oh hun so sorry, what treatment did she have last timew was it the dip or an injection.

the vet said to me that it might not be that we had took her where foxes where it could of been in the garden if the foxes used it.

She had the wash, and was allergic to that, it made her twice has bad
The injection worked to clear it up, but it still made her ill!

I'll take her to the vets on Monday if it doewsn't clear up.

I've added Echinacea tablets to her cocktail of supplements, to help boost her immune system!

ok hun let me now how it goes good vibes to u both

Hi Hevvur I really wouldn't like to say , Teagans coat looks nice and healthy. I can't see any scaling, it could be a number of things including mange or even a bacterial infection like this one..

it could also be an alergy to something one of my bitches puppys had somthin similar turned out it had developed a food allergy . but then my older bitch had similar to it also and she was tested positve to a thyroid disorder . good luck hope it heals soon
