Our dog Diamond (border collie - just over 1 1/2 years old) has sores on her muzzle … around her lips.
They look like pus-y cold sores. (sorry if TMI).
We took her to the vet last weekend and he gave us antibiotics for her (she also has sores in her ears) but they don’t seem to be helping, and in fact the sores are spreading. He felt it was some kind of skin infection and rather than treat it externally with an ointment (which she’d probably just lick off) he thought that treating it internally would be a better way to go.
I’m planning on taking her back to the vet, but in the meantime, I’m wondering if any other Dopers have seen something like this on their doggies?
Thanks,
S.
