    Hi,

    Thanks for all of your replies.
    We missed you too.

    It wasn't exactly a vacation. It was a working vacation.
    Worked during the day and had fun at night.

    It's NOT Frankies knee. He's doing much better with that.
    It hasn't popped out in a while.

    It's his skin. I didn't mention anything because I felt like every time I posted it was something bad with Frankie.

    He has a really bad skin condition and nooone seems to know what it is. We have been to 3 vets. I fired the first two because they told me straight out I don't know what we are dealing with.

    The third, who seems a little more knowlegable was optimistic.
    He changed his medication.

    Frankie has been on meds/antibiotics for his skin since.... I want to say end of Feb...??? for this. It's just gotten worse with time. He has these round bumps about the size of a penny all over his underside.

    He was treated for contact dermatitis and it's not that, no reaction to meds. He does not have demodex, he's been tested for it 4 times. He doesn't have ring worm, he's been tested for that too.

    The last vet thinks it's a really resistant bacterial infection that turned into staph because he was not on the right meds. His skin has been looking a bit better in the last 2 weeks and he hasn't had anymore hair loss.

    I need to give him a bath every couple of days with a special shampoo.

    I will post pictures of these "red circles" as well tonight.

    Hopefully, someone can identify what the hell they are.

    I am due back to the vet with him Monday morning to see what the vets says. The last straw will be sarcoptic mange treatment, which he highly doubts it is because then we'd all have it by now at home (it's very contagious) and then allergy testing. This crap popped up right after the grass "woke up" but it could be a coincidence.... maybe food allergy...

    I don't know.

    Later
