I Have a Rag Doll female 6 years old She has been suffering with a skin rash that comes and leaves for a time. She has had shots in the past we now have been treating her with antipiatics that are in a liquid form.Sometimes she licks herself untill the spot is raw.I'm worried about her do you have any suggestions that i can talk over with my Vet.tomarrow? Thanks for taking my question. Warmest Regards, Nan

You might ask him if your Raggy could have a fungal infection. Further testing via skin scraping with microscopic examination possibly may reveal more about the condition.

Here is a good site with skin rash info:

This site talks about "moist dermatitis" which seems similar to what you describe. Read up and write out your questions before you go to the vet.
