He has brown spots on his tail and a scab looking thing
It sounds like your Maltese is experiencing some skin issues around the tail area, including scabbing and brown spots, which have been ongoing for about 10 days.
Firstly, fleas and flea allergy dermatitis could be a culprit. Fleas can cause intense itching, leading to scabbing and secondary infections. Even if you don't see fleas, their bites can still cause allergic reactions in some dogs.
Another possibilities include bacterial or fungal infections, allergies, and anal gland problems.
Gently clean the affected area with a mild antiseptic solution like chlorhexidine to prevent infection. And use an e-collar to prevent your dog from scratching and worsening the condition.
It's also important to keep an eye on him for symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, seizures, breathing problems, or bleeding.
Since Kont's symptoms are persistent, you may want to consider taking him to a vet to determine the exact cause and condition.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
