About a week ago I noticed some bumps on the top of my gyps head. Also on her flanks there were ringworm looking spots. Now to answer a few question first. I will post pictures tomorrow, she is wormed and heart wormed every month. I do bath them with mane n tail once a month and I haven't change there food at all. Also the pens are bleached once a week with bleached water buckets. Now has any one experienced this? A little history on her is she did have demodectic mites as a pup. Could this be a flare up? The bumps have now scabbed over but are still risen. The ring worm spots are on her hind quarters and belly. I have bathed her with happy jacks medicated for ring worms twice. Also I have sprayed purple spray on the everything. She looks like a yellow n purple Dalmatian. Thanks for any input.

My dogs (all of them) have some bumps right now. Got them last year too. Last year I thought some kind of skin fungus (heat and humidity). I bathed with the iodine shampoo and then with an oatmeal shampoo. They went away.
This year...didn't do anything and they are going away (same time frame).
Not sure....Mosquitos maybe or it actually was a fungus that has ran its course. I sprayed the yard a couple days ago anyway.
Gotta remember to do that earlier next year.

Our main dog that we've been taking out has that too. We also feel that it's fungal. We were thinking about getting him tested for Pythiosis just to rule it out. Very possible being we live in a swampy environment! http://www.pythiosis.com/ |

Well since i have bathed her with the happy jack shampoo for ringworm which is for numerous fungus. It seems to have helped a good bit. I believe that it has been a mosquito problem and certain bites have gotten infected and created an irritated area. I will most likely wash her down with the iodine also. Even tho she is on cement i found that keeping a good trim on her nails has helped. To help prevent the mosquitos i have since installed a 2 phase fan at the end of me kennels and through the night have kept it runnning. All the dogs have removed themselves from there jumps and have now posted up in a line to get about a 20 MPH breeze. Thanks for the replies.
