we went to the vet, it's not mange, just a scab, irritated as we've found out by our other boxer. the vet gave us some ointment and also said i could dab some bitter apple around the wound to keep maggie off...huh, i was surprised that was ok, but it is and it works. hopefully now this nasty wound will heal and go away. this was a new vet for us, and riley stole the show, he had everyone googling over him and he of course lapped it up very very politely, it was quite funny, and fun:)
 
appicon I'm glad to hear it is nothing serious..as for mange in older dogs it is not uncommon..mites live in hair folicales and sometimes they get out of wack, it is more common in puppies but generally all dogs can get it..sending slobbery kisses!

If its really stubborn it could be a hotspot.Now ahotspot starts small like a spot and just spreads and gets bigger.The cause is not completely known,it can be many various things.It can be treated with antibiotics.
