Have a spot on my 15 year old labradoodle's face that has recently showed up. Saw a week ago, small hair loss, black dot present with some dry flaky skin around it. Applied some vaseline to moisten it. Kept checking over the week. Dry skin cleared up and hair loss got a bit worse. The pictures...

Hello! First time poster here. I’ve recently discovered a strange hard object sticking out of my 10 year old cockapoo’s back, near the base of his tail.

Today I noticed my Daschund licking the inside of his front left leg. When I looked I noticed what seems to be a scab or cut of some sort and he growls at me when I attempt to see it. Thought I should mention that he recently hurt this same leg during a walk, but that does not seem to be...

A couple of month back my mom noticed some hair loss on my dog right hindleg. At first I dismissed as it look like a scratch, being a recently adopted dog I thought that perhaps it was the result from a fight during his time on the streets. Fast forward to two weeks ago, I noticed the area has...
