We have a 3.5 year old lab, last fall he started smelling bad, and itching. Took him to go get a good bath, and to the vet. The vet put him on Cephlaxen 500 mg twice a day and OTC benedryl. Cleared up quickly and itching stopped.
Well, this past week, its started again, Doc gave me 100 more pills and told me to come back before they are empty...
I know Labs are prone to skin probs but this is insane!! Does anyone else have this prob with their Lab and what type of long term meds are we looking at?
The Doc has talked about sarcoptic mange and bacterial infections but he lives in a clean house, is an indoor dog and his diet hasnt changed in 2 years....
Thanks!
