Title: SORES ON DOG Post by: WOOD on October 15, 2009, 06:07:32 pm THIS MAKES THE SECOND DOG I HAVE HAD THAT HAS HAD SORES ON THEIR ANKLES. THESE SORES ARE ABOUT AS BIG AS A NICKLE OR LITTLE BIGGER. THE ANKLE IS SWOLLEN A BIT BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW DOESN'T BOTHER TRAVELING. THE DOGS KEEP THEM CLEAN BUT THEY DON'T HEAL VERY GOOD. ANYONE KNOW WHAT MIGHT CAUSE THIS?

Title: Re: SORES ON DOG Post by: chadrad on November 04, 2009, 09:26:15 am If the dog has swollen ankles and numerous raised white areas, one of my catchdogs(PIT) develops a similiar condition every year. I give him 1000mg's of Cephalexin for three weeks and it always clears up. Cepha is great for bacterial skin infections.

I fought it with different remedies and some of them helped but eventually the spots came back. Turned out to be staph. Fixed with antibiotics from the vet and regular bathes with maleseb shampoo.
