<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Everyone</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been wanting to write about it, Xaxa has
some little patches on his skin that look like little crusts. If not taken they
grow but then, when we take it, it comes with all the skin and the hair, leaving
the skin raw. We apply antibiotic ointment and he never complains or looks as if
it hurts. But then we find another little patch..on the bun, the tail, neck,
anywhere really. Has anyone ever experienced it? We showed it once to the vet
but she didn't do anything and didn't care about it. The crust seems a little
oily but is kind of thick.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He eventually has dandruff, could it be
related?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We don't know what to do and wouldn't like him to
continue with those raw bloody skin patches. If we don't take the crust off it
gets bigger.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be very much
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We send drool to all in need and Godspeed to sweet
Zelda.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Take care</FONT></DIV>
