Yesterday morning I noticed poor Angus licking and scratching at his back more than usual so I caught him to have a look and this is what I found!
I have no idea what happened so I quickly put on his e-collar on, gave it a scrub with some chlorhexadine and called to make an appointment with the vet. I would consider myself quite an attentive owner, so I don't think it's been there long, I think it may have just cropped up overnight. At first glance, it kind of looks like a burn or something, but I really have no idea what happened. I brought him to the vet's today and even the vet was stumped! At first he thought it might have been a burn too... or that Jaffa Cake got him, but I really don't think so. Either way, he got some steroids and antibiotics and hopefully it should clear. It just looks absolutely awful and I feel really bad. Have you ever seen or experienced anything like this before?
