buck buck has a serious skin problem. you should pay more attention to him

Ya, he's been on medication for almost 2 years already. All of the good KL vets can't do anything for him, so one of them recommend Dr.Habibah in UPM. After 1 1/2 yrs of treatment, condition still the same. BuckBuck even go through a 3mth long antibiotic treatment, then stop for a mth, then continue back.
Blood test, skin swapping, tested for food alergy, other allergies also negative - everything also done already. His condition is so hard to determine that Dr.Habibah gave my brother discounts for allowing the vet students to study BuckBuck (as a case study). The problem is that his fur kept falling off. Other than that, his skin is very nice, there's no mange or boils. Everytime fur grows back, it will fall off again.
You saw the fur on his body right? It's growing back in patches, then when it looks like going to fully heal, it will fall off again. The vet also headache. The problem is not my brother's place because Cisco's not affected at all. I wonder if it's genes problem. Now the vet is considering to ask my brother to try another blood that will be tested in the US for dunno what problem after the most recent treatment also not seem to be working very well. If I remember correctly, the latest treatment's pills cost RM7 per capsule and BuckBuck have to makan 2 capsules per day for 1 mth.
My brother is not complaining but heartache see BuckBuck's fur falling off. But apart from that, BuckBuck's health is very good - always very active and have no problem eating also. But no worries, we all will still very sayang BuckBuck even if he's fully botak in the future.
