Doby is one of our Klang rescues who was initially staying in Lotus Life, Bentong, in 2009. When Meiji visited the place, she found that Doby was kept in a cage and did not look good at all.
So Meiji brought Doby back to her sanctuary in Raub and since then, Doby has been with Meiji and the 127 other dogs.
Doby has a very stubborn skin problem and even after repeated visits to our panel vet, the skin problem persisted. It isn’t life-threatening, though.
This is Doby, see the white spots on his face and leg?
Meiji brought Doby to the vet in UPM and the vet suspects Doby has an autoimmune skin disease called Dermatuplytosis and it is a fungal infection. Doby has been given some medication for this.
Doby’s medical treatment is fully sponsored from our funds.

Trust you are keeping well. Read your posting on Doby's skin problem. If i may share some insights:
i used to have a dog with permenant skin problem as well, she had the same simptons ie bald/white patches on her skin. I brought her to like 3 or 4 different vets and each time they prescribed different medication which seems to reduce/cure it momentarily but the simptoms seems to make a come back each time, this continues from she was 4 months to almost 2 years old and at one point of time, it became so bad she requires weekly jab for 3 months and lost all her hair – however one of the vet suggested that i tried the home remedy of applying cocunut oil to her body and sprinkle it with sulphur powder (yellow powder which can be readily bought from chinese medicinal shops) before bathing the dog, the oil of course can be applied daily but the sulphur powder treatment comes in once a week. My dog condition not only improved but she never had the same problem again. it is worth a shot, see if this inexpensive method can actually cure Doby.
Have a great day ahead.
You are doing what most of us wish we could do for the animals.
Thank you so much, Anon. I have just texted Meiji about it. I hope it works!
