Doesn't really look like it, but do you have a blacklight handy? That's a quick check to see if it's a fungal infection. That's how I'd check my cats when I first got them if they still had ringworm.

There is also a thing called a HotSpot,but normally that causes itchiness,it also can cause hair loss and are quick to get very big if the dog starts scratching,or more moisture irritates a hotspot...Could be wrong, but it gives you something to research or to keep you aware if it changes very rapidly in size.

I just remember when my previous girl had one of them and in the space of 4 hours it had tripled in size why i was at work.

Best of luck and hope you find out whats wrong :-)

Stark has something like that... The hair was gone and there were black spots in there as well. We went to the Vet and found out he had Red Mange (the non-contagious type THANK GOD!!) Has your dog gone through anything lately where the immune system can be compromised? (Shots/Neuter etc?)

Also, try combing other parts of his body really well to see if there's anything else. All of Stark's fur made us miss it until it started up on his paw.

Whatever it is, I hope he gets better soon!

Any suggestions on where to start? A trip to the vet is not in my budget right now. As said by @undarth there are little black spot that look like clogged pours and he is extremely extremely itchy, which he has been more than usual a little before the spot started to show up. I just noticed a small spot near his foot which im sure hes been gnawing on but still very small. The main spot is at the corner of his mouth on the outside of his lip, no bigger than a quarter, not warm from what i can tell, and it doesn't seem to be bothering him. Is there any medics i can try that may help and not hurt him.

Hey,

I'm not sure about what else you can do without going to a Vet, but here is the link to my thread. I haven't tried what arooroomom suggested yet - I was planning on doing it if we had to continue Stark on the medication, but it might be worth a try?

I think you need to shuffle around the cash and find a way to get him into the vet - its pretty necessary if he has mange, especially if it continues to spread. It sucks, but in my world a bill will go unpaid for the dogs to go to the vet.

Of course, but we aren't veterinarians. We can't suggest a treatment for something if it isn't diagnosed - thats why I said go to the vet, they can help you!

Hey, I know it can be pretty hard when something is wrong with your pet... But since you found another spot, I would voice and say the Vet would be my first choice as well... If it isn't Mange, there's always a chance that non-vet routes can flare up the condition.

Just curious though, was there anything in the past month or two where his immune system was compromised? If not, you can pretty much rule out the Red Mange.

I wasn't trying to be harsh, I just had the best interests for your dog in mind - if I knew it were mange I would suggest Tea Tree Oil, but until you have a diagnosis, get into that vet dear!

Let us know what happens.

But, what are you feeding, if you don't mind me asking?

I would switch him to Blue sooner. I had Stark on that before the raw diet and he did pretty amazing on it. A good place to look up information regarding kibble is www.dogfoodadvisor.com - a lot of excellent information on there.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for your guy - hopefully it's nothing scary, but I'm sure the forum will be helpful regardless of what it is! Smile

Personally, I gave Cato the Wilderness Salmon and Duck when he was only 6 months old he has grown very well. If you can swing it, feed Blue Buffalo Wilderness - it's grain free.
