I have an 8 year old male boxer who had a severe case of mange 2 years ago and has had skin problems ever since. His latest episode was one of severe itching over his entire body. He was diagnosed with funiculitis which is inflamation of the hair follicles. He has been on antibiotics and various cortisone products. He had one huge spot that developed into furniculosis. We could not get this place to heal(it was the size of a quarter and just kept oozing) We had it cut out by the vet and he stopped fussing with it immediately. Incidentally there was no sign of cancer. Now the specialist is telling me it is allergies. I do not believe it is allergies but that it is a deep skin condition. His thyroid was also very low. Now that he is on thyroid medicine his hair is becoming really much better. It is getting thicker and much softer. He is starting to scrach again but not nearly so severe-i.e. biting himself. What I need help with is has anyone had any skin problems like this and if so what did you do? TIA
