I got the Biopsy results from my vet today. Microscopic Findings:Severe Chronic Suppurative Superficial Dermatitis with Serocellular Crust and Bacteria. Comment:There is clearly bacterial involvement. This may be the primary problem or may be secondary to an underlying atopic,allergic or other hypersensitivity condition.Comments from the Dermatologist go on to say: The clinical description of the lesions appears most supportive of mucocutaneous pyoderma.I am particularly suspicious of this since the lesions were significantly antibiotic responsive.
Needless to say this is a lot of info for me to go through so i will be doing a lot of research on this problem.One of the good things I got from all this is that it can be allergy related,and I switched to RAW a week ago so hopefully that will help.
Glad the vet gave you some results. Still a bit of a mystery though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
I just wanted to point out another situation you may encounter: You've just started a raw diet for your dogs (congrats BTW! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and since your dogs are older dogs, they may go through a detox period. Anything from loosing fur, to lesions, body odor, a whole host of things MAY occur while the dogs get rid of the toxins in their body. Or nothing may happen, so wait and see.
I would just treat the lesions with some antibiotic powder and keep up with the raw diet! Good Luck!
