Hey so sorry for the late reply....as mentioned i was starting a new job so i only just arrived in the cayman islands last night.

As it turns out she had a v.vbad bacterial infection so high doses of antib's and bath was all that required. Was worst i seen and v.vsmelly but never seemed to bother her, she's such a sweet placid girl. Anyways its all started to clear up now which im relieved at.

Thanks for your responses guys, its been a very very hectic few weeeks for me with the move etc

two I am thinking of if parasites have been ruled out - Atopy and Cushings esp if you say the area around the lesions is hard (? calcinosis cutis).

I agree wih Sal, Cushings sprung to my mind, is she PU/PD, pot bellied or have any bilateral alopecia?

Could the black scabs be dry blood?? just thinking if he has an irritation (fleas / allergy etc..) he could be chewing himself silly.
