    Hi Ana!
    Sorry to hear Charlie is having problems.
    For skin problems you really need to see your vet.
    These things can get worse and worse if your dog is licking and biting. I thing maybe vets use antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines but you need to make sure nothing is underlying it.
    Hope everything else is okay.

    Not sure what you mean by ACV but I assume its antiseptic?
    i wouldn't take the risk, definitely check in with the vet

    ACV = apple cider vinegar. Similar to coconut oil in that it cures all ills.:rolleyes:

    No, go to the vet :D
