My 5 years old GS dog suddenly got this and spread all over his body. I visited about 3 vets and so many different treatments from everyone of them with no result. Can anyone please help.

I got frustrated as it have been two months now and still got no results.

Any help will be so much appropriated.

Thanks

I'm not a vet but the first thing I thought when I saw the picture was "mange". That's a parasitic infection of tiny mites. Have you discussed the possibility of mange with your vet?

The vet can easily see if it is, or is not, mange by taking a skin scraping and looking at it under a microscope. Do you remember any of the vets doing this?

Thanks for your help. The vets didn't take a skin scraping. They only said it's a fungal infection.

All the vets actually didn't identify the right cause so that the prescription includes anti bacterial, anti fungals and antibiotics and antihistamine for allergy as well and also includes some vitamins.

Seems odd to me that if they said it was a fungal infection that they gave you an anti-bacterial, ear drops and some vitamins. At least, that's what I'm seeing in the pictures you posted. Did they give you anything else that you didn't post a picture of?

That's all they gave.

I am not a vet either, but this is a result in my experience with a fungal infection.
When one of our dogs had a ringworm (fungal) infection, our vet suggested using "Canesten" (Clotrimazole) for thrush control. . ( he said this was a cheaper method than anything he could prescribe). Instructions were, "use sparingly 2 times daily for 10 days". And yes it did clear up.

Thanks for your help.

Yes I tried all except for injection as it wasn't available. Nothing worked.
