I am so sorry that Charlie is so uncomfortable. I do not know what therapies you have already tried, so I will list my recommendations. I would start with trial treating for mites. Bravecto, simparica, or ivermectin would be appropriate choices. If that doesn’t help then I would test for ringworm. If still no improvement I would request an injection called cytopoint to help with the itch and I would try a hypoallergenic diet for 2/3 months. I may also consider a skin biopsy to help narrow down the diagnosis. Best of luck and I hope one of these suggestions is helpful for him! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
