Dog rash

QuestionEdit

I have a 7month old boxer who has scratched a bald spot on her upper back. She also has a rash on her stomach. She was spade about a month ago could this be a result from the anestisa?

AnswerEdit

Hi!

I don't think that this is due to anesthetics since it has been a month. You should consider other things such as food allergy, flea bite hypersensitivity, fungus, etc. Are you using any treatment against fleas? What kind of food are you using? I would suggest that you use a spot on solution for fleas, and a hypoallergenic food to see if there is an improvement. If the situation doesn't improve please see your veterinarian.
