Skin Problems

[neggynoo]

My boston terrier has a pink rash on his stomach, a small bald spot on his tail, dandruff, and licks his feet SO MUCH. Our vet gave us some relief spray, but he just licks it off his feet. what should I do?
Thanks

Honestly, I think you need a new vet... I've never heard of a vet just giving a spray and that's it. Most vets would give cortisone and at the very least ask you to change to a food that the dog is less likely to be allergic to if food allergies are suspected.
You really have to get moving to resolve this before the chewing becomes an irreversable habit.

I agree with Prin ~ time to seek another opinion. In the meantime try an oatmeal bath (Aveeno makes one) to soothe his and if you have a cone-collar (Edwardian) at home, perhaps put that on him until your appointment to prevent him from chewing at himself. If you've done a major food change you might want to re-think that chnage. If you have recently cleaned the floors, carpets or his bedding/towels with something unusual you might want to give everything another straight water-rinse. If it's possible he has come into contact with lawn / garden pesticides, you may want to mention that to the next vet as well. I assume you've checked him thoroughly with a magnifying glass for fleas and other critters. poor little guy ~ good luck with the next Vet!
