[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1446178, member: 16453"] My experience with it mostly in horses it usually affects the topline and where water runs off like down the flanks and girth. It is a dermatophilus sp infection which is common on the skin but gets going when the conditions suit it. It is the same organism that will usually cause greasy heal. To me it has never been too big a deal, they look cruddy initially as the hair mats together but that soon peels off leaving bare skin which quickly grows new hair and they usually end up with the nicest newest shiny coat. I think you have to decide if the vets "could be" diagnosis sight unseen is correct. The description of white spots on his side is not a lot to go on. Ken [/QUOTE]
