I know...I always said Japanese...and one day someone said that is a Chinese Akita.
I have had her for 7 years...she is almost white and Beautiful.
But she gets theses awful sores on her
butt and her whole tummy has a red spot....and the Doctor keeps her an prednisone.
I took her off for 3 months now they are back again...poor Sheba...she is inching her heard off.
By the way...I take very very good care of her...she is all I have in the world...I want her in the house...but that stuff on her I think is contagious.

Native Country
Japan (definatly not chinese)there is actually no such thing as a chinese akita.
Other Names
Japanese Akita
Uveo-Dermatological Syndrome (VKH) (is a health issue in akitas)
The Dermatological phase can include blisters on the affected dogs nose. The sores may also be seen in other areas such as the eyelids, pads of the feet, scrotum and anus. After some time, the affected area may begin to depigment and there is often hair loss of loss of colour in the hair. Some Akitas have also been known to have their toenails fall off, but this is not common. etc. didnt the vet tell you why he was giving her prednisone?? did he do any test etc? here is the treatments for this disorder:Medical treatment is usually with oral prednisone and azathioprine, and topical prednisolone and atropine. it may be possible that she has this but the best thing too do is get the vet too give you a real diagnosis...

I had a Japanese Akita who late in her life would chew on the skin of her stomach. I had to use bitter apple spray to keep her from doing it? Other than that, the vet gave me a creme to apply to the area.

Uh, do you mean a Japanese Akita? Akita's are a Japanese breed. My akita never had skin problems, but it would probably help others if you could describe what type of problems your akita is experiencing...
