Young puppy about 3 months old. Puppy is crying in fear and pain, and cannot be assesed without sedation. Gave 0.5 DKT IM to sedate. PE: Presents large areas of alopesia scattered on the back, all of them oozing serous fluid, consistent with a chemical burn of the skin. TX: Shaved hair, cleaned and desinfected all affected skin with chlorhexi solution and then applied Silver sulfadiazine ointm. to all affected areas. Gave 150 ml of Lactated Ringers SQ. Rimadyl 1 ml SQ Combi-pen 3 ml SQ. Dewormed with Ivermectin 0.2 ml SQ, because puppy was still sedated and could not take anything by mouth. Did not give Activyl due to his severe skin condition. Did not see any fleas or ticks.
