This looks like a skin infection. It is most likely bacterial, but may be fungal or a combination of both types. Unfortunately, we are not able to prescribe medications for you. This requires a direct examination with a veterinarian that can then determine which type of infection, if there are any other underlying problems and then which medication is needed. They will have to prescribe the medication. Please have Togo checked out by your vet as soon as possible. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
