Dog skin rash around genitals
Our dog, 1yo neutered female Pitt Bull Terrier, seems to have sensitive skin, possibly allergies. When we first got her we would notice what seemed to be insect bites swell up and the mark would not leave for quite some time. However it did not seem to bother her, so as i said before we figured she simply had sensitive skin. Anyhow she seemed to be okay throughout most of the winter, however recently it seems like what looks like bite marks have turned into a rash of some sort. It doesn't seem to bother her however I would like to do whatever possible to ellimate this problem. We have discussed this with our vet in the past and it was discussed that she probably does have sensitve skin. I was just wondering what advise you might be able to give us to help eliviate this problem with our baby girl. I would like to also add that this rash is in her genital region and is spreading upwards. |

Cat with sore on hip
Hi -- My 16 year old male neutered DSH cat has a sore on his hip area. It's been there for about 2 weeks. There's no fur left in the area, which is about as big as a half dollar, and it looks like there is puss. He doesn't seem to be in pain, he is not licking or biting it, and there are no blood or scabs. We have no idea what started it. It looks sort of like a burn would on a person (but it's not a burn). What, if anything, should I do about this? Is it worth calling my vet, or will it just heal in time? Is there an ointment I should be applying or some other treatment? Since he doesn't seem to be in pain we were just hoping it would heal. Thanks for your advice!
