We're back! Good news is... it's not mange.
Bad news is... he has a really bad skin infection. Most likely an allergic reaction to insect bites (but no fleas were seen)... and the scratching led to a skin infection.
So he'll be on anti-histamines and antibiotics for a while. They said it was pretty severe. They gave him a free dose of Frontline too. Poor Koa, he was so scared being in there, but he did well during the skin scraping. Give that boy some cookies and he's your best friend.
Heaven and Nala are itching too, but Nala's BEEN itching since I got her. And Heaven doesn't have the rash and hairloss like Koa. Nala goes in tomorrow for some vaccines and they'll re-check her skin too. Then I'll probably have to take Heaven in later if she's still itching. I think they all just need baths because they've been outside so much. I think those biting flies started all this. I de-fogged the yard and sprayed repellent on them, but the vet said it doesn't work that well on flies. So I'll have to limit their time outdoors from now on.
Anyway, so I'll keep you guys posted. Hopefully this clears right up with antibiotics. He just looks awful. His whole sides and belly and chest are all covered in bumps.
