• My dog has a rash on the inside of his upper thigh. It's red and doesn't appear to be getting worse, but has been there at least 10 days and doesn't seem to be clearing up. Is there any topical ointment we can put on to clear it up?

    Hi Christina,

    I recommend that you take him into see a veterinarian. It is concerning that the rash has not cleared up after 10 days. There can be many different causes for the rash including infection, fleas, skin mites, allergies, or an underlying medical issue. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of the rash after they have examined him. The treatment that he needs will be based in the underlying cause of the rash.
