Owner applied product mid-March. The pet presented to the veterinarian the last week of May with an area of approx 4 cm of red alopecic skin over the right lumbar spine. This spot seemed to be resolving and the hair was regrowing. A second smaller spot developed over the dorsal thorax and seemed to develop more recently and was still losing hair. The owner reports that these were the application sites of advantage when given in March. The areas are being treated with cothivet sprayed 2-3 times daily and allerderm applications 1-2 x per week. The lesions seem to be healing but are not yet fully resolved.
