does anyone have a husky with auto immune disease (skin)
layla (at the moment) has been diagnosed with this. vet has a trying different doses of a steroid to treat it. during the higher doses everyday the sore spots start clearing up, but when we get down to lower doses every other day it starts to come back. she started having sores around the eyes and a really bad spot on her right ear. the ear has completley healed up and the eyes mostly healed until we dropped the dose.
she is currently at 10mg every other day.
when we left the house this am the eyes looked liked they have the last few weeks (look better but still black and kinda crusty around the eyes) when we got home the edge of the crusty area was raw and open. dont know if she was scratching at it and did this or if it is doing this on it own.
talked to the vet about other med options since we didnt want her on the predizone (or whatever its called) long term. but was told the other medicines had greater risk of side effects then long term use of the steroids.
getting really woried about my baby and hope were not wasting time on a false diagnosis. goin back to the vet one day this week to see if they can take a blood sample to find out for sure.
also the vet reccomended a fatty acid supplement to try after evaluation of our next visit??
