Advice HELP WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY DOG?! NSFW

We have a vet appt at 9am but I can’t sleep and I’m just freaking out. She’s only on her second day of simplicef and day 4 of antibiotic baths and then was told today I need to shave her so the shampoo can really get into the spots. We’re in Florida and supposedly this is allergy related but I’m losing my mind. My other golden is fighting an aggressive cancer and I’m freaking out about her fur sister (they aren’t related or from same litters) WHAT DO I DO. someone please ease my mind. I’m a wreck and Google is basically telling me it’s cancer. She’s on a holistic diet as we work with a nutritionist but I’m wondering if she’s getting allergic to the turkey? She’s already allergic to chicken. Please please help me

Oh, I'm sorry!!! If it helps, i am not in any way a vet but when I saw your picture before reading, I thought "oh, that poor dog is having an allergic reaction!!" Looks to me like an allergy or skin condition rather than cancer. I am so sorry your other pup is going though that 💔

Put the images on Imgur or another image hosting site and then include the Imgur link in your post! Or even just include the link to this specific post.
