I am now chatting to a friend in Skaneateles about her boxer pup. Vet diagnosed it with a staph infection, but treatment has not been working. I suggested salt bath/spray a few weeks ago. This has helped, tonight I ask for photos and with this new information I have diagnosed it as Atopic Dermatitis. She will be chatting to her vet and giving the pup regular medicated shampoo baths.
