Thank you! I'm taking him to a pet dermatologist. I think it is extreme allergies because he constantly scratches and sneezing. The black spots are in his arm and leg pits.
Black/Extremely Dry Skin
I just adopted a Jug about 2 weeks ago. He has EXTREMELY bad allergies. I have pin pointed acorn/wheat food allergy, but I think he has seasonal allergies too. I have changed his food to wheat/corn free. His stoles are no longer loose! I can't believe we made this much progress in such a short period of time, but we still have a long way to go!
PJ has extremely dry skin on his belly, arms, legs, face, ears, and paws. He has black skin under his arms/legs and on his genitals. He is on allergy meds, fish oil, multivitamin, and an antibiotic. Also, I rub vitamin e and coconut oil on his skin. I have seen SOME improvements, but he still itches himself. I have been home with him most of the time since we adopted him, but I'm scared he is going to itch himself raw again. How do I get rid of the black skin? I hate seeing him suffering.

georgiapeach, I had him on Benadryl, but it didn't work. It wasn't strong enough. Now he is on prescription allergy meds, which seem to be working a little.
