I am going to go and do some reading up on Pyoderma....I wonder if THIS could be what Tatum has?  I really thought that she could have Hypothyroid, but the tests came back totally negative. I have a picture (on my other computer) that I need to show you of her shirt - when I took it off the inside was just FULL of hair Sigh... I really have got to look into this as I just don't know what is causing the hair loss. Unless it really does just have something to do with her allergies.
Anyway, I don't want to hijack Wylie's thread! I hope the little sweetheart is doing ok and that you are finding some answers! Hopefully when I go further with Tate's testing I will be able to find some myself!
Sweet hugs and kisses to Marcel from the Tator Bug...and she sends some to Mr. Wylie too!  |
I know...these poor lovebugs...they really don't deserve to feel bad for one single day
. Here is Wylie's update as of Monday (still don't know anything
):
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/2618061-post111.html -- so we wait another 10-14 days for the U of Tennessee.
Brooke, if you go
HERE (this is where I took the boys) - and click on FAQs, and then "What is Pyoderma" -- there are pics, but that is a very severe case. Wylie's looked wayyy more subtle - he had some red, patchy areas on his tummy, he had flakes all over and red patches here and there; the back of his legs looked red/patchy/hairless too. He had fur loss on all 4 legs and then it was starting on his body. It is easily cleared up w/ a once a day does of Simplicef for 2-3 weeks. His skin is already looking much better!
Kisses and hugs to the Tator - from both the boys, but especially from her Marcel.
