Poor Sasha! If that lesion is getting worse, she needs to go back to the veterinarian for further diagnostics. The doctor may recommend a culture to check for unusual bacteria or a biopsy to check for autoimmune disease. Make sure to protect the area from scratching with an elizabethan collar. I hope she starts feeling better and please feel free to post any additional questions.
