pics #18; flair up it is BAD

[Medusa]

As long as Bobby's getting relief, that's the important thing. I have to take Cgirl in again tomorrow for another depo shot. I tried some new snacks and she got the sores back again. Dumb me, I just thought I'd try something new. I'm cutting out snacks altogether. Hopefully, that'll do the trick. Can't very well give snacks to the rest of the fur posse and not Cgirl. They went all their lives w/out snacks til just a few months ago, so they can go w/out them again. Well, you and your vet are on top of things, so I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it.

Well, things were getting slightly better, the sores were healing and the scabs coming off. I ran out of meds and knew I had to take another pet in the next day, so we skipped the meds for JUST 24 hours. OMG, POOR BOBBY.

Right now he is:
wearing an e collar (been on 5 weeks)
eating z/d low allergen food
taking chlor tri meton 2 mg twice per day
taking cefa drops 1.5 ml once per day

I think a flair up like this in 24 ours means the food is not the problem!

Here are the pics. They are a bit graphic.
This is just the top of his back. He is like this head to tail!





We had a skin scraping, there are NO mites.
Anyone have any ideas? Should I take him in to the vet tomorrow (Friday) to let him see what happened in the 24 hour laspe (which the vet does NOT know I stopped the meds for 24 hours.)

Just did a quick on line search, and I MAY have xcaused this flair up. I gave him a bath about 2 hours back.

It says that warm water can cause this; cool water would have helped him.

Also says the shampoo may cause this flair up.

Oh Bobby, I am SO sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen!

Ouch! That looks painful. Poor Bobby, I hope you get well soon.

O my!!! That is a bad looking rash!! Our Riley who is allergic to many things NEVER had a rash like that!!!! Can your boy eat the z/d canned(which Riley was allergic to)instead of the dry? I think the dry has BHA, BHT, and ethnquion(sp) as perservatives. Riley is doing well on the canned EVO and for a treat gets some goats' milk(HE LOVES MILK). PLease keep us posted....Prayers of healing and comfort out to you and Bobby....
