Doberman with scabs around his neck. What is it???

Friday, August 28th, 2009

I have a 8 month old doberman and he has developed sores that are just scabbed over around his neck and a few on sides and a couple on his leg.

I took him to the vet yesterday to get him examined and the vet did a blood culture. Vet said that it was probably from mosquito bites. Recommended a mosquito and fly Advantage treatment.

When I brought him home and went to bed he began to have the runs and vomited all his food up once. The runs lasted till this morning and I made him stay in his crate and rest today.

This afternoon I noticed that there are many more of the scabbed over sores. I am really concerned. I travel and am not home to take him to my vet.

ANY IDEAS WHAT THIS COULD BE?????
