I do not know how he got this, but had to take him to the vet again because of an infection. Near his lip, under his chin I found a gross scabby infection. Must have happened almost over night.
Brought him to the vet, and she said it was due to moisture. How ???? He does not drool, nor has he been swimming. How can I keep him from having these come back. Not hot spots, he had those last year. So now he is on cephalaxin for 21 days, which I think is crazy, but what can I do..... Now my mom is even asking how can you keep him with no job....I am asking myself the same thing now.....Payment plans need to be paid or they do not work.....Any suggestions on how I can keep this from happening again...Remember he was at the vet 2 weeks ago with intestinal problems.....ARGHHHHHHHH he is making me broke :(Another 200$ later

What kind of dishes are you using for his food and water?? I use to have a cat that got mouth infections all the time, and when I changed her food dishes from plastic to stainless steel, they went away!!

Just a thought!

Sorry to hear that he is still not 100%, I hope that he is on the road to recovery!!

he is using stainless steel, only has been... I do not know where he got this from, or how I can prevent it.

Sometimes excessive licking can cause this as well. Right now Winnie is in heat. She is constantly licking herself right now and she has the same thing going on. This only happens when she goes into season. What I do is wash it good with an antibacterial soap and warm water, then I put neosporin on the affected area, and within a few days of doing this, it clears up.

Sorry your having such a rough go at it. Hope this helps.
