They are also very prone to folliculitis, or pimple like
bumps on the
skin. Usually the
bumps have a puss-like substance that comes out
of them.
If your vet feels your dog has folliculitis, he should be treated with antibiotics, which should be continued for a long time, much longer than they are usually used for.
To give you an example, our Blue dobe had to be on antibiotics for his folliculitis for 3 full months, at high dosages, before we saw a resolution from it.
