I had posted a reply and it got lost! I'll try again.......First I want to thank everyone for all the responses and wonderful info. I will definitely be calling the vet in the am to see what else he can do. Sadie's hair loss/thinning is pretty significant. It starts at her head down to the middle of her back and her whole chest with little to no itching. The matting is getting pretty bad even though I gently brush her. Like I said, she's very much a part of our family and I can't imagine how devastated I would be, my husband and especially our children
I spoke to the breeder and I almost wish she would just reimburse me a portion of what I paid (to help cover treatment cost) then to have to send her back and get a new puppy. But she seems more interested in replacing her than reimbursing me.
