Grey now also has a skin infection

Just when we thought it was all moving on to being better in the world of Grey and I noticed he was getting sore with some scabby browny red deposits on his back legs, bum and tummy area and then the fur started coming out around it. I'd first wondered if it was a type of mange, which might also have linked to a compromised immune system, but a trip to our vet revealed it is most likely a skin infection, but this could be linked to an immune issue. He's now on anti-biotics, Piriton and having tea tree oil cream applied. So he has the look of a monkey bum from behind. Let's hop he doesn't go bald on these patches.

  1. My foster Martha is also showing signs of this...we put her on two weeks of antibiotics, and it was better...but now is becoming red again. Am worried about it, as she came in compromised medically to the rescue

  2. Grey's has almost cleared up. What do you think Martha's is?
