We removed the tags, and that solved the problem. We were also feeding them a teaspoon of canned food mixed in with their kibble, all from the dog ‘health food store.’ Their eyes started watering / staining as soon as we brought them home. We eliminated foods from their diet, including the canned food. Now, I’m wondering if it was the metal can and not the food that they were allergic to. Thanks for sharing the collar options you’ve found. We will check those outCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707592188592821357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-10717874900393981822017-11-22T19:16:35.497-08:002017-11-22T19:16:35.497-08:00Could be allergic to metal, or the collar may be t...Could be allergic to metal, or the collar may be too tight. I'd try taking the collar off completely and see if the skin clears up. Once it is clear, try a collar again, but one such as a standard nylon with a metal buckle, and see if you notice any reaction. If there is no reaction to a collar like that, and the sore cleared up by removing the e-collar, it is likely that the collar is on too tight, being worn too many hours, etc. K-Koirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933780350863090595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-7692518761486032582017-11-22T05:42:12.050-08:002017-11-22T05:42:12.050-08:00Our husky mix gets sores only around her neck whic...Our husky mix gets sores only around her neck which are oozing and most recently were like holes. Thought maybe bot fly but vet had no idea. Just yesterday my son pointed out that these holes are the same distance apart as the METAL prongs on the electric collar!

We used a metal choke colar, and he developed large cystic like areas with what looked similar to his puppy acne where the collar laid. Currently we are having issues because he is a large dog and our trainer is recommending a prong color, that only comes in metal. a gentleman in our class recommended coating it in flexseal... a rubber paint. We may try this.
