Hi All
We've a 2 year old working cocker bitch. Recently shes started developing really angry and pus filled spots on her underside - both on her bare tummy and across her chest, inside of legs. She's had two courses of steroids and anti-biotics, but the vet is cautious of any more. We're currently trying a topical shampoo treatment - if anything we think the spots are getting worse.
We live in the countryside, she gets a huge amount of exercise (I'm a mountain guide) and is off the lead 95% of the time. She zooms around and bounces through bracken, heather etc etc. At first I thought they were perhaps little cuts and scratches getting infected? But now not so sure. She doesn't seem much bothered by them, doesn't particularly itch or lick at them. She's also up to date with all her meds.
Is this 'a cocker thing'? Has anyone else experienced it or got suggestions for things we could try?
