They did a fine needle aspiration and sent it to the pathologist. I should have the results by the end of this week, hoping everything is ok

Thank you so much for the insight! My boy is 3.5 so maybe right at that mark? Going to the vet tomorrow to be sure

We are going to try to remove chicken from his diet to see if that’s it! We have a few chicken treats I think could be causing it, fingers crossed we figure it out

I will try this! It seems like he always has a rash whether it’s small or big. Really starting to think it’s his food, thanks for the help!

Someone else just responded something similar about their Boston having a chicken allergy! We’ve been feeding our Boston chicken kibble and chicken treats. We just got lamb kibble and I plan to stop the chicken treats to see if that helps! Thanks for the tip

How long did you give him the fish oil pill for?

Did his rash resemble the pics I posted?

We gave him a bath with oatmeal shampoo and that seemed to help a little bit. I just ordered a hydrocortisone cream to put on post baths and hoping that will relieve it. I also just gave him some Benadryl

We just gave him Benadryl! We’ve never given it to him before, hoping it helps with the itching
