Without seeing the lesions it is hard to say exactly what the next step would be. You can always upload up to 3 pictures when submitting a question. I would recommend taking him back to the veterinarian and putting an elizabethan collar on him in the mean time. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
