Thank you so much for the reply! Hopefully his biopsy results will make things clearer but either way I'll discuss what you've said and the treatment you've suggested with the vet.
Thank you

Hi everyone,
I have a 12 month old Dobermann boy, who's never really been very well.
History-When he was around 8 months old he had double cataract surgery as he has PHPV and micropthalmia. Pre op he had unusual blood tests (something to do with the liver) and he had protein, blood and sugar in his urine. These were followed up and clear. Following this he had two urine infections.
Currently, he has had 6/7 weeks of antibiotics for 'puppy acne' but it didn't clear up. His nose has turned a pale blue/slate grey with a smooth surface and a little red in the middle. He has lesions/spots on his body (mostly hind legs), enlarged lymph nodes, sometimes has a temperature, he isn't putting on weight despite an increase in his food of 50%. He had a 'thickening' on the skin of his neck and a spot/blister/wart type thing on his anus. Behaviourally he's been a nightmare, constantly mouthy us and barking at us. Happy to go for walks. Difficult to tell is his joints are sore. He's tummy is never great and usually has v soft stools.
Vet was perplexed, had never seen a nose like this. He had blood and urine tests that came back clear. Yesterday he had a general and had biopsies (his 'acne' chin, the thickening on neck, the spot on his bum and one of the spots on his body, also aspirated from the enlarged lymph nodes).
I don't understand why the vets don't know what this is when (after a quick google) all I can find is that it keeps coming back to lupus.
Any opinions/experience/advice would be much appreciated as everywhere I ask no one knows anything about it.
Thanks x
