bjlfishing Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 hi can anyone help my cocker is chigeling its back and it has lost a patch of hair and its forming little scabs from continous scratching and chigeling ive treat it for fleas even though there didnt appear to be any also done its kennel ive bathed it and applied savalon and a wound cleaner ive just bought some camrosa ointment as advertised in shooting times id would rather try these measures first than go to the vet and face a ridiculous bill for some thing that might be easily cured and help would be appriciated cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomleatel Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 My Mums cocker had something very similar, and it turned out to be some worm that they get by eats snails and slugs Needed a course of tablets, and all was well Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polski Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Could be fox mite(mange). If it doesn't clear up then it's a trip to the vets. Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbald Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Whereabouts on the back is it, my spaniel chewed a sore just above the tail and it turned out to be a blocked gland which the vet cleared and no more problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
