Hello Doctor, Since this is a street dog, it would be difficult to get him checked. He’s also quite aggressive and won’t let anyone touch him.

It would be helpful if you post couple of pictures here. I will definitely try to understand the type of infection he is suffering from. Its very difficult to diagnose with the video posted above.
