Demodex Skin Mites
It turns out Isaac has Demodex Sking Mites (localized on his snout). They aren’t contagious according to the vet and are common in younger dogs. She did a skin scrape and took a peek under the microscope to confirm.
While he was there they checked under the hood (ears, mouth, heart, butt, balls, coat, flees, eyes, and temp) and Isaac was cooperative. He got hot dogs and tugs on the hoses so he hopefully he thinks the vet is a fun place.
They perscribed Goodwinol Ointment to be applied once a day and he needs to get a follow up scrape in a month (Dec 25th merry x-mas Isaac).
