Hi and thanks for your question this morning! Yes, it could be any of the above you mentioned. I will add to the list of possibilities: a fungal or bacterial infection. Please have Koda examined by your veterinarian as soon as possible so Koda can get the proper diagnosis, treatment, and care needed.
