Pet's info: Dog | Lhasa Apso | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 4 months old
Hello my dog is a lhaso apso, we normally keep him long haired but have give him a hair cut today and noticed he’s covered in scabs all over his body and ears. I don’t have the money to go to a vet right now, do you have any idea what it could be and what I could do to help please?

As I said in your previous post, it could be fleas, mites, allergies, or ringworm causing Toby's scabs. You can try giving him an oatmeal bath to see if that helps, but ultimately, he will need to see a vet. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com I hope one of these resources helps you.
