Ok, I have a four month old black lab/blue tick hound mix.
About two weeks ago, I noticed he had a bump on his head and a little open sore. Since my puppy is totally hyper and clumsy (a bad combination), he tends to run into a lot of things... usually head on. I thought he must have hit the corner of the coffee table or something.
Over the period of the two weeks, the bump went away. But the sore got worse, better, worse, etc. The sore would bleed, ooze, crust over, then the cycle would start over. Many times my puppy would make it worse by scatching at it.
So two days ago, I noticed the sore looked worse then ever. So I made an appointment with the vet. An hour or two before the appointment, I was rubbing my puppy's tummy when I noticed a drip of yellow/green puss looking substance coming out of his wee-wee hole. I freaked!
The vet says that my dog has ringworm and the puss substance is because my dog is not cleaning himself properly.
Do you think the vet is correct?
