Title: Spot on my gyp's head
Post by: GenStonewall on June 02, 2010, 09:29:03 pm
I got two cat's (gyp and a male). They like to tussle of course. The male got her a bit much on top of her head and it started out as just a little spot. It's now just a bit smaller than a dime. Took her to the vet today and he scraped at it a bit and looked at it under a scope and said she just needed antibiotics. But, if it doesn't improve to bring her back.

Any ideas what this is? Or any thing y'all tried that seemed to work?

I have a rottie that got a spot on his back that started out the same way. The vet said that it was a staff infection. Gave him antibiotics and it cleared up after the second round. Any antibiotics that you get be sure to give them all or it can come back with a vengence if left untreated. I seen a dog at the vet when I took him back for the second round that was having to have about a 2 1/2 inch round spot cut out because it had become seriously infected because the antibiotics weren't given as instructed. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be giving her all of the meds. Stuff smells like oranges. Just hope it gets it gone.
