Red Swollen Hairless Spots on Dog’s Snout

It started oozing bloody puss last night. Just the big one. But seems to be tiny pockets of it.

Hi Marissa,
Just from the photos and the description of the lesions at this time:
“oozing bloody puss last night…. tiny pockets of it”

I am very suspicious that he has an infection of a ‘deep’ fungus. There are several species that are found along the Mississippi River, close to where Canton, Texas is located. Your dog also fits the age, sex and breed of dogs that are commonly affected. (Less than 2 years old, male, and having a long snout).

Blastomycosis, Actinomycosis, or Cryptococcosis are the fungus species I am most concerned about. These are diagnosed with a fungus culture, or even an impression smear could identify it. Conventional treatment is with one of the oral (systemic) anti-fungal medications.

In the meantime, you could try some homeopathic remedies, while you are waiting on a diagnosis.
Hepar sulph 12C or 30C one pellet in a 2 oz glass dropper bottle, filled with Spring Water. Give him 1/2 dropperful by mouth TWO times daily for at least 3 weeks. Treatment may need to be adjusted accordingly, depending on his response. (increase in potency, decrease in frequency, or change of remedy)

Also, he will need to be fed a raw diet, Primal, Nature’s Variety, BRAVO! etc. See our page on 10 Best Dog Food options, https://www.organic-pet-digest.com/10-best-dog-food-options.html

NO DRY DOG FOOD.

NO Vaccinations at all for the next 3 years! Find a holistic veterinarian to write an exemption form for him.

Hi Rick
If Marissa put her contact info into the system as a subscriber, then any posting that we make will be sent to her. As she was the original ‘poster’ with the above subject matter, every post will go to her mail box.

Marissa has not responded since she posted this in April, to give us any update on her dog, so I am not sure how he is doing. But I will send a note to the webmaster to ask if there is any other way to contact her.

Take care,
Dr. Carol Jean Tillman
