Hello,
I wanted to reach out here to see if anyone has ever seen something like this. This post will be a bit long, sorry in advance.
On the 30th, our little boy Max started displaying an orange rash around his snout that he kept on scratching. We first thought it might be a reaction to something but we still isolated him from the rest and made a vet appointment just in case.
The next day, he had clear discharge from his left eye and we feared it was distemper. His paws also developed the orange rash and he bit his legs a lot as well.
Aside from the rash and discharge, he was active, eating normally and his stool was normal as well and he didn't have a fever.
At the vet, his tests did not point to distemper although you can never fully rule it out in the rare chance it was a false negative. Our vet gave us antibiotics to give him but was very clear that he would need to run more test in a follow up because he's not certain as to what it is.
Well, it's been almost two weeks since the first vet visit, and his follow up is coming up. His face rash is almost non-existent and he had no discharge by the second day on antibiotics. His paws got a little worse but not by a lot. His energy, appetite and stool has remained normal throughout all this.
I'm just stumped on what this is. We don't have any other pets nor spend time near dogs or any other animals for that matter. Most of our business we got vaccinated, except for 3 which we were told got their vaccinations near to when we rehomed them, max being one of them.
Has anyone seen anything like this? Any information is appreciated. Thank you.
