Just been to see the vet because Freddie has developed something on his chin - I originally thought it was because he was gnawing away on his bone and the bone was rubbing on his chin. I woke up this morning though and there were drops of blood on his sleep-blanket so I thought we better go to the vet and get it checked.
Unfortunately I didn't take him so I can only relay what my Mother told me! He said it could be some kind of demodex but also said it could be hair that's ingrown. Does that make any sense? I had a quick look for demodex on this forum and am led to believe that it's demodectic mange but my Mother said he never mentioned mange.
I've attached a photo of the problem - which because it's really close up looks really bad! It doesn't always look as red and raw as it does in the pic.
He's given us the following:
Medrone Tablets (4mg one a day)
Noroclav Tablets (250mg one twice a day)
Advocate 250 (one pipette every 28 days)
Does all sound good - I know the vet probably knows best but I just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and what the outcome was.
