Just dealt with a huge skin issue on our cattle dog. Turned out to be a staph infection all over his underbelly that was misdiagnosed for about 4 weeks until I sent my Vet brother pics and he told me what to do. I was surprised at the dose and length of the antibiotic treatment, 1000mg Keflex 2 times a day for three weeks. Day three and it is almost cleared up.

Our Rhodesian has chronic skin problems and we finally had him allergy treated, turns out he is very allergic to dust mites, which you can't get rid of. Now week keep his allergenic expensive dry dog food in a freezer and give him allergy shots once a month so summers are not as hard as they have been on him as they have for the last 6 years of his life. A pain, but worth it.
