Any suggestions would be helpfulwe have a 16 month old boerboel. (south african mastiff)hes recently had 3 elbow surgerys - the last of which was about a week agohe went to the vet to have the cast removed andthe next morning i noticed his neck lymph nodes where in larged pigmentation on lips were changing to pink from blackhis saliva was clear but the consistency was like honeyThe skin on his lips was cracking and sluffing off.he had no fevergums and tongue were healthy pinkwasn't displaying signs of be lathergicdiet hasnt changedhe didnt eat anything he wasn't supposed to stool is normaleating habits are fairly normaleyes are bright and clearheart sounds are good and no chest congestion or abnormalitieshe also seems to be licking his scotum sack more and the skin is peeling away. I can't tell if his skin sluffing on his scrotum happen at the same time as his lips or if its a result of him licking them.What in the world is going on with our pup?!I've read so many diffrent web pages and i have been able to come up with a definitive answer.He went to the vetthey gave him iv fluids and a steriod he was on tylenol 3 for the pain from his surgeory (which he has had before without any complications) as well as trimethoprin sulfa tabs (which he has had before without any complications as well.) they changed his antibotics to cephalax i believe and stopped the tylenolHis lips seem to be getting worse...ANY ANY ideas are welcomed!Best regards,concerned parentshe has been on both of his med before (tylenol 3 and trimethoprim slufa tabs) with no negative reaction. can auto immune dieases show up over night ?someone mention a parvo exposure - could this explain it ? but remember theres no digestive issues / elevated temp/ depression etc
