At least I guess that's his issue. I don't see any signs of fungus on him.
About 10 months ago I got him from a "breeder" and he was infested with mites. I treated him and he initially got all better, coat grew in nice, all was well and he was paired with Remy.
It's been a battle ever since though, as he goes through bouts of scratching. Currently his coat is short and thin around his ribs both sides and nearly up to his spine.
He is going to the vet tomorrow, but was curious what sort of treatment is best? I have been doing the correct dosage of ivermectin behind his ears but I can't quite seem to get them completely under control. His skin is not damaged in anyway, I keep his nails filed down smoothly, but the coat int hose areaas is quite thin.
Poor man.
Thanks for the help.
