Red rash on my dogs skin?

Hi,





I have a cross breed of German Sheperd and Labrador. He is 12 yrs old now. Couple of weeks back he started having hair loss in patches on his back for which we gave him some medicines and he is recovering from that now.


But now he has got red rashes all around his testicals. Its turned all red and it itches him a lot. Also it oozes some colorless fluid too at times.





Can someone help me know what problem he is facing and any cure for it.





Thanks,


Aldo

my grandmas dog had the same problem.


it was actually allergies to something, maybe like flea medicine?? started at the shoulders and moved down. he got scabs from it. but he got medication, dont know what it was called. but it wasnt a huge deal.

He maybe having an allegic reaction or he may have a skin infection. You should take him to the vet and have it checked.
Reply:has anything changed in your home lately? such as wash the carpets and not rinsed them in an area where your dog often sits? this may be causing a skin irriation, just logically fix it, i.e. rinse the carpet. If you can't think of anything or the rash doesnt clear up within a weak of the fixing consult your vet
Reply:Were these "medicines" by any chance home remedies or over-the-counter stuff? If so, you could have made it worse. Take him to the vet!
