      My dog first had a small bald patch on his back the size of a quarter. It looked like he scraped it on something because it was red and looked like the skin had been rubbed off. A couple days later the bald patch is now the size of a baseball and the skin has turned green. Is it mange? If not, is it just infected?

    • Please get your dog to a vet ASAP! As in, tonight or tomorrow! That definitely sounds like an infection. Would you want a baseball-sized green lump on your skin?

    • How fast is this happening? Without a better description, my worst fear is that your dog was bitten by a brown recluse spider. Take him to the nearest emergency vet to either rule it out or start immediate treatment. If it is a brown recluse bite and it goes untreated you will lose your dog.

    • sounds like a Hot spot. I'd take your dog to the vet so they can give you a topical spray to heal it. They will most likely prescribe "Gentocin" or "Betigan" Spray.
