My dog has yeast lesions?
My dog has yeast lesions? General Dog Discussions
Our little Yorkie is 12 yrs old and she started to get lesions at the back of her ears. We took her to the vet last year and she had all types of tests done. Blood all OK and skin tests including ones from the lesions are normal and contain only natural bacteria that would be found on any dog. However the lesions still return in different places.We wash her in Malaseb once a week and leave it on for 10 Min's then rinse. They still take a few weeks dry up and then leave a dark mark the size of a 20 p coin they then clear away back to normal skin.The Malseb works but seems to be that slow that another lesion will start in a fresh place and if she gets one in the inside of her leg she struggles to walk it is not sore but tickles her just like the nerve ends on the surface of the skin being damaged. She does not even scratch them. Our vet said its a yeast problem and gave her various jags, pills and shampoos but finished up saying just to use the Malaseb all the time even every other day. My friend has a dog that is worse than ours and he now uses a spray and the dog has been put on a special diet.I have a picture of the lesions and can post someway they have now cleared up but she still has some under her back leg and her chin. However the hair does not fall out.
