thank you, glad i found this forum.looks really useful.will definatelly use it, infact i found it while searching for some answer to my dogs problem.he's got dry/crusty sores on his belly.they're not irritating him at all, so im not sure if i should take him to a vet or not.he had this condition once before, took him to the vet, was told they have no idea what caused it, that it could be some grass etc, and put him on antibiotics.the sores came back, theres more of them, but as i mentioned earlier, he doesnt seem to mind them. doesnt scratch or lick them...
