Tommy has very sensitive skin. He is itchy a lot of the year and gets terrible reactions to fly bites. I started him on micronised linseed recently and it is making a difference. He's lovely and shiny and seems more comfortable. About ten days ago I noticed little clumps of scabs across his loins and over onto the top of his bum. I assumed it was rain scald as he only needs to get his skin wet for a few hours and he gets rain scald. Its been very hot recently and the scabs are getting worse. They are greasy and easy enough to pick off (taking little clumps of hair with them) and seem to be itchy. The ones on his bum are pretty big now but up the way iyswim. Like little tower scabs! Which is why Im asking about psoriasis as it seems like an overproduction of skin cells.
Any ideas before I have to add even more onto my huge current vets bill!!?
