Need help with my elderly dog’s skin

[dascagar]

My dog is an 11 year old lab/pit mix who has been experiencing scabby growths on her skin (particularly her belly and armpits) for months now. She’s on vitamin E and fish oil. We don’t really know what to do about it and with COVID and both of our jobs, it’s not really possible to get her to the vet. Is there any type of shampoo we could use?

Thanks

@dascagar Veterinarians are definitely seeing dogs during the pandemic. Take her to the vet, there are many things that could cause this.

@imagebeastmarkbeast It’s not that they’re not seeing dogs. It’s the situation. We’re not allowed in, they come to our car to pick her up. In her old age she’s gotten terrible separation anxiety and she’s become aggressive. Even when I’m able to follow her in for her appointments it takes a lot to get her to calm down enough to be seen. She just shuts down.

@dascagar Our vet accepts pictures! See if they'll let you email them.

@dascagar She'll survive a vet visit. Believe me. It's better than you trying to play vet at home.
