I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time.
And I hope you find out what is ailing your beloved canine friend.
We lost two very old and beloved cats this winter and it was terribly hard on me. They were 20 yrs and 24yrs and nothing much could be done. 24 had kidney failure and 20 had a stroke in her spine --both I had to euthanase! Very painful!
I hope you find out what is causing your rash. Lupus comes to mind, but also drug reactions are common. I am sure you have researched it well, on your own. Sometimes foods will do it too. Photosensitive contact dermatitis is one cause. Dermis website has pictures of this.
Thanks for the update, though, as posters were asking about you.
