I would look at topical aloe very gel and vitamin E. Maybe some coconut oil and/or colloidal silver, warm epsom salt compresses.

Internally, not sure, depends on what else is going on - maybe some quercetin to counter any histamine reaction....not sure what else at this point.
Hi MaxaLisa,

He has been checked for swollen anal glands.

Yes, all the red area has some swelling.

The vet doesn't find any growth at this time.

The vet did a culture to determine what antibiotics would best work and discovered that he has a yeast infection and a bacterial infection that is resistant to antibiotics. She took him off the TMP/SMZ (gen) 480-mg (1-1/2 tablets twice daily) and put him on Zeniquin 100-mg (1-1/4 tablets once daily) and Ketoconazole (gen) 200-mg (1-1/2 tablets every 12-hours). She also recommended Pepcid AC for upset stomach, thinking this might help with his lack of appetite, but it has not.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get him to eat anything. He rejects everything but ice cream and water. That includes all his favorite pet foods and favorite people foods.

Thanks for all of your suggestions!
