New puppy has strange rash on his head

[Kobewc]

Long story short she’s had these strange bumps on her head for a few days. Does anyone have any idea what this is?

The vets in my city suck and I can’t find anyone to look at her. They’re all scheduled far out. Any ideas or what should I do to help?

I haven’t seen her itching it or anything

What a cutie! My guess is a reaction to the tape so you might want to try to change it to Zona's or something similar.

Thank you I have some zonas now this tape was used by the breeder (athletic tape)

Zonas doesn’t really seem to stick very well for me

It hasn't for me either but the Kendall Curity I've always used doesn't seem available anymore.

If its on her head and only on her head, my guess is the tape is the cause. What do her ears look like? I can't tell from the pic, is there any wetness to the area? If her ears look ok, and the top of the head is the only bit that looks gnarly, maybe its not strictly the adhesive, but chafing. How often are you changing them?

In any case, I'd stop with the stuff you're using. Did the breeder post her, and if so, what did they use?

I'm using this stuff right now -- it has made an *enormous* difference.

Thank you, that was the one I was trying to remember yesterday after they changed the name slightly.

I bought some of this tape and used it last night. It definitely seems much more sticky the the actimove zonas tape I bought previously. Does it come off the ear pretty easily?

If you have the adhesive remover it does.

I just use the blue goo gone adhesive remover. Any other recommendations?

Most of us use Unisolve Uni-Solve Adhesive Remover Liquid [59402500] 8 oz (Pack of 2) – Beauty Suppliers – Online Shopping, which is a surgical adhesive remover.
There's another one that smells better but I can't remember the name of it right now. @MyBuddy ?

Thanks for the link I will use unisolve. I could only find the wipes. So I decided on the goo gone adhesive bandage remover.

I tried the wipes too but they didn't work nearly as well as well as the liquid.

Thank you how does it perform compared to unisolve if you’ve tried it before?

And does it leave the ear super oily after? The blue goo gone I’ve been using leaves a nasty oil that’s pretty hard to get completely off the ear before taping. Which results in the tape coming off pretty easily

Use rubbing alcohol to remove the goo gone from the ear. I use the same and the rubbing alcohol will strip it off and dry quickly.

I've never used unisolve. I love the Telesis and would never use anything else.

Thanks for the rec, I'll grab some when I run out of unisolve wipes. It works, but I don't need/want wipes.

How are his ears coming along? She has a crop vet who does beautiful crops so I bet they're going to look great.

I do them one at a time start to finish -- if he's not having it, or we're struggling (some days it seems like the tape is against me) I don't want to get stuck either leaving an ear down or pushing through.

In the 5 days he's had them up, the leather feels very different. He's lost most if not all his baby teeth, including his canines.
